Description

Mahalo's exception handling for TransactionParticipant calls mirrors that of ThrowableConstants. This is probably not a suitable categorization for Mahalo's purposes. For example, NoRouteToHostException, while unlikely to be resolved shortly (or by itself) would be "definite" exception according the ThrowableConstants. Mahalo, on the other hand, has a higher level of responsibility and should probably retry commit() calls, for example, even in the face of "unlike to be resolved" exceptions.
