Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-11537:
------------------------------------------
Hm. Not really. The process in general is fine. [~iamaleksey] wrote another,
nicer [contributor's
doc|http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cassandra.apache.org/msg08672.html]. The
[Tick Tock
doc|http://www.planetcassandra.org/blog/cassandra-2-2-3-0-and-beyond/] is
probably the best source for the general release scheduleI. It actually says,
that 2.1 reaches EOL when 3.0 is released, 2.2 is in maintenance mode (critical
fixes only) and 3.0 only gets bug fixes.
> Give clear error when certain nodetool commands are issued before server is
> ready

> 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.
