Summary:
See discussion here:
https://secure.phabricator.com/chatlog/channel/%23phabricator/?at=21186
Basically, MySQL usually raises a good error if we exceed "max_allowed_packet":
EXCEPTION: (AphrontQueryException) #1153: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes
But sometimes it gives us a #2006 instead. This is documented, at least:
>"With some clients, you may also get a Lost connection to MySQL server during query error if the communication packet is too large."
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman//5.5/en/packet-too-large.html
Try to improve the error message to point at this as a possible explanation.
Test Plan: Faked an error, had it throw, read exception message. See also chatlog.
