[jira] [Resolved] (CASSANDRA-3605) Exception swallowing in Hex.java

["Jonathan Ellis (Resolved) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3605?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-3605.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

As the comment notes, this exception is handled by the post-try block null check.  Throwing a RuntimeException instead would create a bug.
