[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7398) Using the -Dcassandra.config VM param needs a "file:///" prefix for the supplied URL

["Marco Tulio Avila Cerón (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7398?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14031541#comment-14031541 ] 

Marco Tulio Avila Cerón commented on CASSANDRA-7398:
----------------------------------------------------

I agree that trying to recover from all possible exceptions will bloat the code, however an exception is thrown when something "exceptional" happens, (that is where it comes the name from). And a good system should try to recover from the exception situation, letting the user know that the input is wrong is another possibility, but in personal opinion I would try to recover and try one more time then throwing the exception, as in the patch proposed.
