Description

Provide a better way to check for the errors returned by SDK function.

Expected Behaviour

Create custom error package with types/methods for different errors returned by SDK, which will allows users to check for specific errors as below

errors.IsSuchandsuch(err)

Current Behaviour

Right now these checks can be performed using string matching with error messages
