> Currently the methods of QueryNodeVisitor do not declare any exceptions. Even 
> though the query tree might be syntactically correct, an implementation might 
> reach a point where it cannot continue (i.e. if it does not support one of 
> the optional query features). For such cases there are currently two 
> solution: 1. throw an unchecked exception or 2. communicate the error state 
> through the visitor using the data object passed along. 
> While I don't like 2. it is still an option. For 1. I'm not sure if this is 
> the right way to go. It might be better to actually throw a checked 
> exception. I therefore created a patch which declares RepositoryException on 
> all visit methods of QueryNodeVisitor. Although the necessary changes in 
> classes using QueryNodeVisitor are trivial, there are quite many of them. 
> Any opinions on checked exception with probably breaking (trivially) existing 
> code vs. using not checked exceptions?
