[jira] Created: (CASSANDRA-1682) Bad configuration errors don't give much information

Bad configuration errors don't give much information
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1682
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1682
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 0.7 beta 2
            Reporter: Gary Dusbabek
            Assignee: Gary Dusbabek
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 0.7.0


When there is an error in the DatabaseDescriptor static initializer, we typically generate an error line instead of a stack trace.  The error line is only sometimes helpful.  A stack trace would give developers a lot more information to go on when giving support.

-------------------------------------------

Can we put the stacktrace at debug?  I'm getting it beaten into me that most users really don't like seeing stacktraces, especially if they are not java devs.

------------------------------------------

The point of the ticket was to give more information, not less.

Taking a second look at the messages we pass to the ConfigurationConstructor, I think they are sufficient for analysis.  I must have been frustrated when I created the ticket.
