Alvaro Polo created FLUME-1367:
----------------------------------
Summary: LifecycleException isn't RuntimeException, but
LifecycleAware operations does not declare it in their throws clause
Key: FLUME-1367
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1367
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: v1.2.0
Reporter: Alvaro Polo
As Javadoc indicates, the {{start()}} and {{stop()}} methods of
{{LifecycleAware}} interface can throw a {{LifecycleException}} when an error
occurs in such operations. Nevertheless {{LifecycleException}} is not a runtime
exception, so {{start()}} and {{stop()}} methods cannot throw it as it is not
present in their throws clause.
Two ways to fix it.
* Make {{LifecycleException}} to extend {{RuntimeException}} rather than
{{Exception}}.
* Include {{LifecycleException}} in the throws clause of {{start()}} and
{{stop()}} methods for {{LifecycleAware}} interface.
