>          Components: balancer

> The Balancer's AccessKeyUpdater handles exceptions badly. In particular:
> 1. Catching Exception too low. The wrapper around setKeys should only catch 
> IOException.
> 2. InterruptedException is ignored. It should be caught at the top level and 
> exit run.
> 3. Throwable is not caught. It should be caught at the top level and kill the 
> Balancer server process.
> {code}
>   class AccessKeyUpdater implements Runnable {
>     public void run() {
>       while (shouldRun) {
>         try {
>           accessTokenHandler.setKeys(namenode.getAccessKeys());
>         } catch (Exception e) {
>           LOG.error(StringUtils.stringifyException(e));
>         }
>         try {
>           Thread.sleep(keyUpdaterInterval);
>         } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
>         }
>       }
>     }
>   }
> {code}
