             Summary: Add Helpful Error Message on Storage Plugin

                 Key: DRILL-7552
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7552
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Storage - Other
    Affects Versions: 1.17.0
            Reporter: Charles Givre

If you are attempting to create or update a storage plugin and for whatever 
reason an error occurs, the only error message that is displayed in the GUI is 
{code:java}
Please retry: Error (unable to parse JSON)
{code}
This is unhelpful to the user as the user may have entered in valid JSON, but 
specified an invalid option. The error gives no indication as to what actually 
went wrong and how to fix.

See example below:

In this example, the cause of the error is the final option isMysql: false, 
which does not exist as a configuration option for the JDBC plugin.
