Niall Pemberton updated IO-249:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.x
Like IO-157 changing the return type is binary incompatible with IO 1.4 - so
this will need to wait until for a future version when we break binary
compatibility
> Enhance closeQuietly to indicate success
> ----------------------------------------

>
> A convention of some programmers is to emit a log warning when a resource
> fails to close. Granted, such a condition is an error, but there's no
> reasonable recourse to the failure. Using IOUtils.closeQuietly() is very
> useful but all information about the success/failure is hidden. Returning
> Throwable will give insight into the error for diagnostic purposes. This
> change will be compatible with today's usage since the method currently
> returns void.
