Brent Worden commented on IO-249:
---------------------------------
What about adding the concept of an exception handler similar to what
java.lang.Thread provides? IOUtils could provide a new closeQuielty(<T>
closeable, IOExceptionHandler<T> handler) method whose implementation invokes a
handler callback method upon receiving an IOException.
With this, users are free to implement IOExceptionHandler as they desire to
satisfy any diagnostic needs they have.
> 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.
