RiakError with no further details sometimes raised when calling store() [JIRA: CLIENTS-553] #410
Description
Very occasionally, I'll see a RiakError (with no further details) raised during the execution of my code, typically when calling the store() method on a riak object (with no arguments).
The traceback (starting from the line immediately after the store() call) looks like this:
File "/home/ubuntu/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/riak/riak_object.py", line 286, in store
timeout=timeout)

RiakErrorIt happens very rarely, and I haven't been able to reproduce it on demand yet to uncover the actual problem. In the meantime, I would appreciate any suggestions on the best way to handle this. Should I catch the RiakError in the application level, wrapping the .store() call in a try/catch block? Or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance.
