[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-10649) Improve field-checking and error reporting in cassandra.yaml

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10649?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14993846#comment-14993846 ] 

Jim Witschey commented on CASSANDRA-10649:
------------------------------------------

[~sthakur] Sure, the yaml file was valid yaml; it just didn't have the correct fields for a cassandra.yaml file.

We should be able to improve error reporting on this, though; I've changed the name of the ticket to reflect that. Can C* set default values for fields not present in cassandra.yaml, or validate expected fields are present in the file? An NPE is not very helpful in cases like this.
