@propensive - in your Scala code, if a Java method's signature includes a checked exception, will you *always* assume you need to handle it?
-
@propensive if an API 'throws IOException," I'm not sure if it's OK to look at the source and say, "oh, but my call to it won't throw."
@Gentmen That depends how thoroughly you're catching and dealing with exceptions. How "ok" is it for the exception to be handled higher up?

@Gentmen In Scala, I think it's rare to distinguish between checked and runtime exceptions. They're all unchecked in Scala, and just as bad!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@Gentmen In the case of IOException, what operations are there that claim might throw it, but you can be certain won't get thrown? -
@propensive SnappyCodec#readHeader will read an InputStream's first 16 bytes. EOFException if <= 16. I only called it if `is.length > 16`. - Show replies

@Gentmen Also, only bother distinguishing between different exception types if your end-user is going to see a difference.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
