h2. Exception Handling Strategies

The APIs would throw the following exceptions:

* *RemoteException* - if there's any issue in communicating with the DP

* *SQLException* - if there's any issue in persisting or updating the event

* *unchecked exception* - e.g. NullPointerException. This is more like a programming errors so do not catch it for whatever reasons.

** _note: catch the *Exception* will catch both checked & unchecked exception_

The above exceptions should never be ignored, at least, the full error stack trace should be logged.
