             Summary: Non-existing commitlog dir emits warnings in tools/bin 
                 Key: CASSANDRA-19779
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19779
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Legacy/Tools
            Reporter: Stefan Miklosovic
            Assignee: Stefan Miklosovic


When I extract the distribution tarball and I want to use tools in tools/bin, 
there is this warn log visible every time for tools when they are started (does 
not happen on "help" command, obviously)
{code:java}
WARN  14:25:11,835 Unable to determine block size for commit log directory: 
null {code}
This is because we introduced this (1) in CASSANDRA-18464

What that does is that it will go and try to create a temporary file in commit 
log directory to get "block size" for a "file store" that file is in.

The problem with that is that when we just extract a tarball and run the tools 
- Cassandra was never started - then such commit log directory does not exist 
yet, so it tries to create a temporary file in a non-existing directory, which 
fails, hence the log message.

The fix is to check if commitlog dir exists and return / skip the resolution of 
block size if it does not.
