-----------------------------------

             Summary: add precommit check for "catch Throwable"
                 Key: HBASE-15266
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15266
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: test
            Reporter: Sean Busbey
            Priority: Minor


Catching Throwable is usually incorrect because it gets all of the Error 
derived problems, like ThreadDeath, OutOfMemoryError, VM malfunctions, linker 
problems, etc.

I was surprised to see findbugs did not flag catching throwable in the patches 
on HBASE-9393. We should add a precommit check that looks expressly for it, in 
our "hbase antipatterns" test plugin.
