Broad usage of unchecked exceptions

[avivfisher]

All of Jedis exceptions are extended from RuntimeException.
While the majority of Jedis exceptions are by definition, checked exceptions.
This behaviour is misleading and leading to a developer bugs, not handling those exceptions (or maybe just not at the right time).
For example:
JedisConnectionException is a RuntimeException while a connection error is an expect scenario (not a good one tho 😅).
So as a developer who uses Jedis, when I execute a command I have to go into the implementation to know which errors I need to handle because my implementation may differ between different exceptions.

Is there a specific reason which justify this kind of implementation?
