Ruby,
Uma has already explained it isn't.
Its just a 'technique' to print out a stack trace during DEBUG logging.
It isn't an exception, and it isn't 'thrown' either - as you notice in
the code. Creating an Exception instance doesn't 'throw' it.
The line you see in logs is a proper, DEBUG-only statement. DEBUG log
level _will_ be noisy in this way. Proper exceptions, that are to be
worried about, are either thrown out explicitly, or are wrapped into
WARN, ERROR or FATAL statements.
So, coming to a question, what's your specific issue when using the
Configuration class in Hadoop?
