> The recent [OSDI paper | https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi14/technical-sessions/presentation/yuan] suggest that many failures in distributed systems arise from 3 trivial mistake in exception handling:
> 1) the handler is empty
> 2) the handler silently aborts
> 3) the handler contains phrases like “TODO” and “FIXME”, i.e. is knowingly incomplete
> The authors propose [their own checker|https://github.com/diy1/aspirator] for these cases, but we can try to enforce any of these rules via checkstyle, for example.
