------------------------------------
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.
