TExceptions thrown by server result in cryptic error message on client - Tried 
to read 4 bytes, but only got 0 bytes

                 Key: THRIFT-517
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-517
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compiler (Java), Library (Java)
            Reporter: Adrian Woodhead


To reproduce:

1. Define a simple Thrift service method with no custom exceptions.
2. In server implementation of service method, throw a TException.
3. Generated code in client forces you to do try/catch TException around 
service call, do this, and output stack trace,

The exception thrown by the server then results in this rather cryptic error 
message in the client:

26 22:32:44,931 INFO Caused by: 
org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: Cannot read. Remote side has 
closed. Tried to read 4 bytes, but only got 0 bytes.
26 22:32:44,931 INFO    at 
org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransport.readAll(TTransport.java:86)
26 22:32:44,931 INFO    at

26 22:32:44,931 INFO    at

26 22:32:44,931 INFO    at

26 22:32:44,931 INFO    at 
fm.last.catalogue.api.TCatalogueAPI$Client.recv_getTrackById(TCatalogueAPI.java:249)

It would be better if the client got the actual TException sent by the server, 
or at the very least a better error message indicating that an unexpected error 
occurred on the server (akin to an HTTP 500 message that most web servers use).
