It's inconsistent, that's all I'm saying.
Passing an ErrorInfo instead of a Throwable is also useful (probably even
required) for FLINK-6042 since it allows us to attach meta data to the
exception (task name, task location, attempt id). The attempt id is especially
important so we can extract the correct exception history from the executions.
