Checked exceptions are annoying. They are especially annoying when they may be thrown inside a lambda where they can really interrupt the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if you wanted to map a function over a list to collect values but a checked exception might get thrown in the process? In that case you don’t want the whole stream to stop executing but perhaps just log it and carry on with the next element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s how you might have done it with Java 7; if an exception is thrown we just log it and don’t add it to the output list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
