Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-6529:
----------------------------------------
It would be nice to have an error message instead of a stack trace:
{noformat}
~/cassandra $ bin/sstableloader /foo/bar -d 127.0.0.1

Can we wrap the describe_ring() call in a try/catch for InvalidRequestException
and just print the "why" attribute and a brief message that suggests checking
the usage?

> Key: CASSANDRA-6529
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6529
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Tyler Hobbs
> Assignee: Marcus Eriksson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.5

> Attachments:
> 0001-verify-that-the-keyspace-exists-in-describeRing.patch

>
> With sstableloader, the source directory is supposed to be in the format
> {{<keyspace_name>/<table_name>/}}. If you incorrectly just put the sstables
> in a {{<keyspace_name>/}} directory, the sstableloader process will not show
> any progress, errors, or other output, it will simply hang.
