[PR] Refactor: Enable EmptyCatch Error Prone check and document ignored exceptions [beam]

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:02:09 -0800 


stankiewicz opened a new pull request, #37754:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/37754

   This PR enables the EmptyCatch Error Prone check and addresses the resulting 
warnings across the codebase. Empty catch blocks that intentionally ignore 
exceptions are now documented with clarifying comments.
   
   Changes Included
   
   - Error Prone configuration: Removed EmptyCatch from the disabled checks in 
BeamModulePlugin.groovy, effectively enabling it for future compilations.
   - Addressed empty catch warnings: Added explanatory comments inside 
previously empty catch blocks to clarify the intent of ignoring the caught 
exceptions (e.g., ignoring parsing exceptions to fallback to defaults, 
swallowing exceptions on teardown).
