---------------------------------------------
[~snazy] The document: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/HowToContribute suggest:
You'll want to checkout out the branch corresponding to the lowest version in
which you want to introduce the change.
Does this documentation require update?
> Give clear error when certain nodetool commands are issued before server is
> ready

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Edward Capriolo

> Priority: Minor
> Labels: lhf

> As an ops person upgrading and servicing Cassandra servers, I require a more
> clear message when I issue a nodetool command that the server is not ready
> for it so that I am not confused.
> Technical description:
> If you deploy a new binary, restart, and issue nodetool
> scrub/compact/updatess etc you get unfriendly assertion. An exception would
> be easier to understand. Also if a user has turned assertions off it is
> unclear what might happen.
> {noformat}
> EC1: Throw exception to make it clear server is still in start up process.
