Steve Loughran commented on HDFS-9455:
--------------------------------------

* Anything raising an IOE should be interpreted as "something went wrong over 
the wire", or at least in the FS client (auth, etc). 
* the existing catching of Throwable is too broad...that can include things 
like OOM other things which are very serious runtimes. Very much not "invalid 
argument"

I think the handlers could go more like

# IOE -> rethrow
# Exception -> say "error"
# Throwable -> report as serious failure

> In distcp, Invalid Argument Error thrown in case of filesystem operation 
> failure
