/**
 * This error is used by GemFire for internal purposes. It does not indicate an error condition. For
 * this reason it is named "Rethrowable" instead of the standard "Error". It was made an
 * <code>Error</code> to make it easier for user code that typically would catch
 * <code>Exception</code> to not accidently catch this exception.
 * <p>
 * Note: if user code catches this error (or its subclasses) then it <em>must</em> be rethrown.
