---------------------------------------------

             Summary: Exception Stack not Printed as Intended in Error Logs
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13368
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13368
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: William R. Speirs
            Priority: Trivial


There are a number of instances where it appears the programmer intended to 
print a stack trace in an error message, but it is not actually being printed. 
For example, in {{BlacklistedDirectories.java:54}}:

{noformat}
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            JVMStabilityInspector.inspectThrowable(e);
            logger.error("error registering MBean {}", MBEAN_NAME, e);
            //Allow the server to start even if the bean can't be registered
        }
{noformat}

The logger will use the second argument for the braces, but will ignore the 
exception {{e}}. It would be helpful to have the stack traces of these 
exceptions printed. I propose adding a second line that prints the full stack 
trace: {{logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);}}

On the 2.1 branch, I found 8 instances of these types of messages:

{noformat}
db/BlacklistedDirectories.java:54:            logger.error("error registering 
MBean {}", MBEAN_NAME, e);
io/sstable/SSTableReader.java:512:            logger.error("Corrupt sstable {}; 
skipped", descriptor, e);
net/OutboundTcpConnection.java:228:                    logger.error("error 
processing a message intended for {}", poolReference.endPoint(), e);
net/OutboundTcpConnection.java:314:                logger.error("error writing 
to {}", poolReference.endPoint(), e);
service/CassandraDaemon.java:231:                logger.error("Exception in 
thread {}", t, e);
service/CassandraDaemon.java:562:                logger.error("error 
registering MBean {}", MBEAN_NAME, e);
streaming/StreamSession.java:512:            logger.error("[Stream #{}] 
Streaming error occurred", planId(), e);
transport/Server.java:442:                logger.error("Problem retrieving RPC 
address for {}", endpoint, e);
{noformat}

And one where it'll print the {{toString()}} version of the exception:

{noformat}
db/Directories.java:689:            logger.error("Could not calculate the size 
of {}. {}", input, e);
{noformat}

I'm happy to create a patch for each branch, just need a little guidance on how 
to do so. We're currently running 2.1 so I started there.
