/**
 * Base class of exceptions thrown by {@link SkyFunction#compute} on failure.
 *
 * <p>SkyFunctions should declare a subclass {@code C} of {@link SkyFunctionException} whose
 * constructors forward fine-grained exception types (e.g. {@code IOException}) to {@link
 * SkyFunctionException}'s constructor, and they should also declare {@link SkyFunction#compute} to
 * throw {@code C}. This way the type system checks that no unexpected exceptions are thrown by the
 * {@link SkyFunction}.
 *
 * <p>We took this approach over using a generic exception class since Java disallows it because of
 * type erasure (see
 * http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/restrictions.html#cannotCatch).
 *
 * <p>Note that there are restrictions on what Exception types are allowed to be wrapped in this
 * manner. See {@link SkyFunctionException#validateExceptionType}.
 *
 * <p>Failures are explicitly marked transient or persistent. Transient errors indicate that the
 * node may yield a successful result on a retry, while persistent errors are guaranteed to remain
 * if none of the inputs to the node change. An error should be marked persistent if either (1) it
 * is propagating an error from a Skyframe dependency (observed via {@link
 * SkyFunction.Environment#getValueOrThrow}, or (2) it is the result of computation done solely on
 * the inputs received from its Skyframe dependencies. Any other errors should be marked transient.
 * For example, an I/O exception should trigger a transient error in the node that directly
 * performed the I/O, and persistent errors in its callers.
