--------------------------------------

             Summary: Examine code base for cases that exception is thrown from 
finally block
                 Key: HADOOP-14526
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14526
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Yongjun Zhang


If exception X is thrown in try block, and exception Y is thrown is finally 
block, X will be swallowed. 

In addition, finally block is used to ensure resources are released properly in 
general. If we throw exception from there, some resources may be leaked. So 
it's not recommended to throw exception in the finally block

I caught one today and reported HDFS-11794, creating this jira as a master one 
to catch other similar cases.
