[Ryan Rawson <ry...@gmail.com>]

The problem is checked exceptions - translating throwables into
"generic" IOExceptions.  There are some specific exception classes in
hbase, but the problem is with all those unknown and random
exceptions.  Eg: NPEs.

As for this issue, some kind of regression looks like.

Working around this tends to obscure logic sometimes.  More, most of the classes seem to both catch and throw IOException as a "standard". Perhaps working a bit towards having a richer set of IOException subclasses would make sense. Anyone thought of that?
