Review Comment:
   thanks for your explanation. I agree that specific exception types could 
help developer to catch the actual root cause. My question is, do we really 
need `PotentialCauseException` to be the base exception for 
`NetworkPotentialCauseException` and `CPUBusyPotentialCauseException`? Perhaps 
`KafkaException` is good enough.
   
   Another exception design uses `TimeoutException` as a parent class, similar 
to 
https://github.com/apache/kafka/commit/e032a360708cec2284f714e4cae388066064d61c.
 The benefit of this is simplifying the code, since developers wouldn't need to 
check root cause of a `TimeoutException` from root cause of an 
`ExecutionException` :smile:  
   
   thanks for bringing up this great discussion. I'd like to see kafka 
exception hierarchy becomr more developer-friendly.
