  You don't need to leak abstractions on exceptions. Libraries should wrap the exceptions and provide meaningful exceptions, not dependent on the exact implementation. Example: public String setCache(String key, String value) throws CacheUnavailableException,CacheWriteException { try { ... } catch (SocketException e) { throw new CacheUnavailableException(e); } catch (SomeMemcacheException e) { throw new CacheWriteException(e); } } This will allow library clients to catch exceptions that mean something to them, not exceptions that only make sense if you know how the library is using memcache.
