Sebb commented on IO-405:
-------------------------
Adding the exception would certainly break source compatibiltiy, but AFAIK not
binary compat. Try it and see.
However, I do not expect the stream to fail immediately; that does not seem
natural to me.
I would expect to be able to write an empty byte array to the stream and not
trigger an exception.
> Support threshold=0 in ThresholdingOutputStream
> -----------------------------------------------

> Key: IO-405
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-405
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streams/Writers
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Jochen Wiedmann
> Assignee: Jochen Wiedmann
> Priority: Minor
>
> I recently had a case where I would wish threshold=0 to trigger an immediate
> thresholdReached() in ThresholdingOutputStream(). This seems to me to be a
> natural expectation. However, thresholdReached() is only triggered after the
> first byte has been written.
> I'd like to modify the constructor of ThresholdingOutputStream() in that
> sense. However, as thresholdReached() might throw an IOException, there are
> two possibilities I'd like to discuss:
> 1.) Pass the IOException through. Or, in other words: Modify the constructor
> to throw an IOException. (Slight binary incompatibility.)
> 2.) Catch the IOException, pass on a RuntimeException. Source code
> compatibility, but surprising for the developer.
> Personally, I'm in favour for 1.)
