Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-4177: --------------------------------------------- This patch isn't really going to solve anything for you, except remove the "Could not retrieve endpoint ranges" prefix, which is still technically correct. > Little improvement on the messages of the exceptions thrown by ExternalClient > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4177 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4177 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Michał Michalski > Assignee: Michał Michalski > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: trunk-4177.txt > > > After adding BulkRecordWriter (or actually ExternalClient) the ability to > make use of authentication I've noticed that exceptions that are thrown on > login failure are very misguiding - there's always a "Could not retrieve > endpoint ranges" RuntimeException being thrown, no matter what really > happens. This "hides" the real reason of all authentication problems. I've > changed this line a bit, so all the messages are passed without any change, > so now I get - for example - "AuthenticationException(why:Given password in > password mode MD5 could not be validated for user operator)" or - in worst > case - "Unexpected authentication problem", which is waaay more helpful, so I > submit this trivial, but useful improvement. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
