I think having a specialized Exception type could be useful. The times
that could be useful that come to mind are:
- if we expose it as API to users
- Other parts of the Spark Code need to catch it and handle it in some way
and we perhaps need different types - authentication vs authorized, etc..
Being security aware of course also means you don't want to give the user
too much information as a hacker could then use that to focus their attack.
I'm fine with changing it here if you want, otherwise perhaps we file a
followup jira or wait til we have more of a use. Thoughts?
