The default JMH policy is to handle the test failure gracefully, and
move on: this helps a lot when running large suites of tests. This can
be overriden, you can request harness to fail on benchmark error with
-foe ("fail on error" cmdline switch) or the similar OptionsBuilder method.

P.S. Don't ever use System.exit() in the code driven by any framework.
In JMH, you can throw the exception out of @Benchmark/@Setup/@TearDown
to terminate the workload.
