[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-2605) Replace `catch: Throwable` clauses with `NonFatal` or `NonControl`

["Mike Hurley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2605?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16244333#comment-16244333 ] 

Mike Hurley commented on KAFKA-2605:
------------------------------------

This isn't just a problem in the scala code. The ClientUtils.java file is also doing a catch on Throwable which is intercepting a ThreadDeath I sent via Thread.stop(). (I know stop() is deprecated but I need a hard stop for what I'm doing)

> The Kafka codebase includes a number of instances where we do `catch t: Throwable` where we should really be doing `catch NonFatal(t)` or `catch NonControl(t)` where `NonFatal` is part of the standard library and `NonControl` is something like:
> {code}
> object NonControl {
>    def apply(t: Throwable): Boolean = t match {
>      case _: ControlThrowable => false
>      case _ => true
>    }
>   def unapply(t: Throwable): Option[Throwable] = if (apply(t)) Some(t) else None
> }
> {code}
> We can also use `NonControl` to replace cases like (it's more concise and has the same behaviour):
> {code}
>   case e: ControlThrowable => throw e
>   case e: Throwable => ...
> {code}
