Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-10649:
----------------------------------------------
Dealing with an empty file better is certainly a nice addition, though checking
the line of the stack in the description on 2.1.11 shows that this is related
to the the client encryption configuration, and indeed, if you have this in the
yaml:
{noformat}
client_encryption_options:
# enabled: false
# # If enabled and optional is set to true encrypted and unencrypted
connections are handled.
# optional: false
# keystore: conf/.keystore
# keystore_password: cassandra
{noformat}
that is, you declare {{client_encryption_options}} but everything else is
commented, you do get a server side NPE with nothing returned to the client
(it's in {{NativeTransportService}} on trunk but this still reproduce). We
should try to fix that (either by complaining or by assuming {{enabled: false}}
if it's not there).
Another nit that the comments above make me thing of regarding yaml error
reporting is that when you add an unknown property, we exit with a stack. We,
devs, reads stack trace as a 2nd nature so it's fine, but some of our user may
not even be that familiar with JAVA and getting a full stack when the only
problem is you've typoed a property in the yaml is scary and not super user
friendly. In general, I think that if we a {{ConfigurationException}} at
startup, we should probably just print the message of the error to stderr and
exit, rather than letting the exception escape. Would be cool if we could use
that ticket for that too.
