[QUERY] Azure SDK for Java: Should Key Vault Client swallow exceptions?

[mattsmall1972]

Query/Question
When the Java Key Vault client fails while sending a HTTP request, it captures the exception, writes a log about the failure, and continues execution. Is it proper design to swallow the exception without giving the calling code ability to handle the exception?

 try (CloseableHttpClient client = buildClient()) {
            HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
            if (headers != null) {
                headers.forEach(httpGet::addHeader);
            }
            httpGet.addHeader(USER_AGENT_KEY, USER_AGENT_VALUE);
            result = client.execute(httpGet, createResponseHandler());
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            LOGGER.log(WARNING, "Unable to finish the http get request.", ioe);
        }

Why is this not a Bug or a feature Request?
It is unclear if this is by-design or a bug.

@vcolin7 could you please follow up with @mattsmall1972?

@joshfree This code is a part of the Key Vault JCA library, owned by @stliu's team. I think they can handle it more appropriately. Would either of you mind taking a look @chenrujun, @whisper6284?
