    Ideally we need a better way to indicate an invalid input, as exception 
handling is too expensive. Adding a check before process is one approach, but 
as you said, it has performance penalty if all records are valid.
    
    How about we use C-style function and return the result via parameter?. e.g.
    ```
    class ToIntResult {
      int res = 0;
      boolean valid = true;
    }
    
    public void toInt(ToIntResult t) {
      ...
      if (something wrong) {
        t.valid = false;
      }
      ...
      t.res = xxx;
    }
    ```
