Darren Sargent created KAFKA-796:
------------------------------------
Summary: Kafka Scala classes should declare thrown checked
exceptions to be Java friendly
Key: KAFKA-796
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-796
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Reporter: Darren Sargent
Priority: Minor
For example, ConsumerIterator makeNext() method calls BlockingQueue.take()
which declares it throws InterruptedException. However, since makeNext() fails
to redeclare this exception, Java client code will be unable to catch it --
javac will complain that InterruptedException cannot be thrown.
Workaround - in the Java client code, catch Exception then check if instanceof
InterruptedException and respond accordingly. But really the Scala method
should redeclare checked exceptions for Java's benefit, even though it's not
required for Scala since there are no checked exceptions.
There may be other classes where this needs to be done as well.
