Aaron Digulla commented on IO-249:
----------------------------------
I also like the handler solution but can we have a factory, please? That way, I
could move all the logging code into my own handler implementation and just
call {{handler.close()}} in my {{finally}} block.
> 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.
