[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-2539) CQL: cqlsh does shows Exception, but not error message when running truncate while a node is down.

["Sylvain Lebresne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2539?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13023150#comment-13023150 ] 

Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2539:
---------------------------------------------

UnavailableException does mean, by definition, "some hosts are down" (which means that we don't really have anything to bubble anything, we can just have cqlsh write it in plain english if we'd like).

But this made me think, maybe we could attach a String to the UnavailableException saying which nodes are down. Not sure what are the consequence in term of thrift compatibility though and if it has any, it's probably not worth the trouble.
