> Dear Cassandra developers, we are developing a tool to detect exception-related bugs in Java. Our prototype has spotted the following {{throw}} statement whose exception class and error message indicate different error conditions.
>
> Version: Cassandra-3.11 (commit: 123113f7b887370a248669ee0db6fdf13df0146e)
> File: CASSANDRA-ROOT/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/commitlog/CommitLogArchiver.java
> Line: 110
> {code:java}
> throw new RuntimeException("Unable to create directory: " + dir);{code}

> {{RuntimeException}} is usually used to represent errors in the program logic (think of one of its subclasses, {{NullPointerException}}), while the error message indicates that {{construct()}} failed to create a directory. This mismatch could be a problem. For example, the callers may miss the possibility that {{construct()}} can fail to create a directory because it does not throw any {{IOException}}. Or, the callers trying to handle other {{RuntimeException}} may accidentally (and incorrectly) handle the directory creation failure.
