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

             Summary: Improve exception message when retrieving String properties
                 Key: OAK-10101
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-10101
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: segment-tar
    Affects Versions: 1.48.0
            Reporter: Andrei Dulceanu
            Assignee: Andrei Dulceanu
             Fix For: 1.50.0


If we have a property of type {{BINARIES}} and we try to read it, using the Oak API, as an array of {{{}STRING{}}}, then the exception message of the correctly raised {{IllegalStateException}} is:
{noformat}
java.lang.IllegalStateException: String is too long: 2325884045577463478" (where the number is basically random) {noformat}
In order to give a hint to the caller about what might go wrong, we should improve the exception message:
{noformat}
throw new IllegalStateException("String is too long: " + length + "; possibly trying to read a BLOB using getString; can not convert BLOB to String");   {noformat}
