             Summary: Give clear error when certain nodetool commands are 
issued before server is ready
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11537
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11537
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Edward Capriolo
            Assignee: Edward Capriolo
            Priority: Minor


As an ops person upgrading and servicing Cassandra servers, i require a more 
clear message when I issue a nodetool command that the server is not ready for 
so that I am not confused.

Technical description:
If you deploy a new binary restart and issue nodetool scrub/compact/updatess 
etc you can an unfriendly assertion. An exception would be easier to 
understand. Also if a user has turned assertions off it is unclear what might 
happen.

EC1: Throw exception to make it clear server is still in start up process.
