Charles Givre commented on DRILL-7551:
--------------------------------------
I would also add that one of the most frustrating errors is the JSON Exception
that you get if you are trying to configure a storage plugin and something goes
wrong. This error is totally unhelpful and gives you no insight as to the
actual cause of the error. Putting the JSON validator into the GUI was a good
idea, however, this is still really irritating in that you can enter valid
JSON, and still get this error.
