Summary: When something goes wrong the `nodetool` command prints the whole Java stacktrace instead of a simple error message to stderr Key: CASSANDRA-6805 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6805 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Tools Reporter: Ondřej Černoš Priority: Minor {noformat} $ nodetool snapshot XXX -t YYY Requested creating snapshot for: XXX Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Table XXX does not exist at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.getValidTable(StorageService.java:2267) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.takeSnapshot(StorageService.java:2222) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at sun.reflect.misc.Trampoline.invoke(MethodUtil.java:75) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor6.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at sun.reflect.misc.MethodUtil.invoke(MethodUtil.java:279) at com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver.StandardMBeanIntrospector.invokeM2(StandardMBeanIntrospector.java:112) at com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver.StandardMBeanIntrospector.invokeM2(StandardMBeanIntrospector.java:46) at com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver.MBeanIntrospector.invokeM(MBeanIntrospector.java:237) at com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver.PerInterface.invoke(PerInterface.java:138) at com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver.MBeanSupport.invoke(MBeanSupport.java:252) at com.sun.jmx.interceptor.DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.invoke(DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.java:819) at com.sun.jmx.mbeanserver.JmxMBeanServer.invoke(JmxMBeanServer.java:801) at javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl.doOperation(RMIConnectionImpl.java:1487) at javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl.access$300(RMIConnectionImpl.java:97) at javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl$PrivilegedOperation.run(RMIConnectionImpl.java:1328) at javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl.doPrivilegedOperation(RMIConnectionImpl.java:1420) at javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl.invoke(RMIConnectionImpl.java:848) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at sun.rmi.server.UnicastServerRef.dispatch(UnicastServerRef.java:322) at sun.rmi.transport.Transport$1.run(Transport.java:177) at sun.rmi.transport.Transport$1.run(Transport.java:174) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.rmi.transport.Transport.serviceCall(Transport.java:173) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport.handleMessages(TCPTransport.java:556) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport$ConnectionHandler.run0(TCPTransport.java:811) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport$ConnectionHandler.run(TCPTransport.java:670) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) {noformat} Please change the `nodetool` command so that it does not print the stacktrace by default, it makes using it from other scripts a PITA. You can possibly add a `--debug` parameter that can be used to print the stacktrace if the user really wants it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
