Class CheckedThread

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Thread

org.apache.flink.core.testutils.CheckedThread

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public abstract class CheckedThread
extends Thread

A thread that additionally catches exceptions and offers a joining method that re-throws the exceptions.

Rather than overriding Thread.run() (or supplying a Runnable), one needs to extends this class and implement the go() method. That method may throw exceptions.

Exception from the go() method are caught and re-thrown when joining this thread via the sync() method.
