Description

For instance

new RuntimeException(
            "Switch space `"
            + config.getSpaceName()
            + "' failed: "
            + resultSet.getErrorMessage());

If this was a NoSpaceFoundException it would be easier to test. Frequently we'd like know if an exception is one we can retry so having ones that implement TransitentException or some ClientException is helpful.

For instance this NoSpaceFoundException is not retryable.

Start by locating the RuntimeException construction shown in the issue and the existing NoSpaceFoundException, then review the TransientException and ClientException types. Done means relevant client failures use explicit exception types whose retryability can be distinguished in application tests.
