I am trying to understand what is happening here so my question is how does this address the lack of clarity mentioned in the original issue in regards to This error? Im guessing these new exceptions be thrown instead of the one mentioned above to provide more clarity that way?

Correct, the accessor should throw meaningful exceptions with details, it should not hide errors. This is what Mac and Windows accessors do today - they bubble up exceptions, but on Linux it looks like we're just logging.

It's the responsability of higher level APIs in this library to hide exceptions, if needed.
