mingleizhang commented on FLINK-2395: ------------------------------------- The link was broken. 404 error. > Check Scala catch blocks for Throwable > -------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2395 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2395 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build System, Scala API > 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. > [1] > https://www.sumologic.com/2014/05/05/why-you-should-never-catch-throwable-in-scala/ -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
