Till Rohrmann created FLINK-2395: ------------------------------------ Summary: Check Scala catch blocks for Throwable Key: FLINK-2395 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2395 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Till Rohrmann Priority: Minor
As described in [1], it's not a good practice to catch {{Throwables}} in Scala catch blocks because Scala uses some special exceptions for the control flow. Therefore we should check whether we can restrict ourselves to only catching subtypes of {{Throwable}}, such as {{Exception}}, instead.
