Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-11537:
----------------------------------------------
I'm not sure using {{Keyspace.initialized}} for this is the best option:
{{Keyspace.setInitialized}} is called pretty early during startup and arguably
doesn't guarantee everything is ready. For instance, it's set before the commit
log is replayed.
What I would suggest here is to set some {{startupDone}} flag in
{{StorageService}}, which could be set at the end of
{{StorageService.initServer()}} and that would be exposed by
{{StorageServiceMBean}}. {{nodetool}} could then just check this as part of its
startup and exit if the server is not ready. We'd also get the "no stack" for
free which I agree would be neat since it doesn't add anything imo.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Edward Capriolo

> 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 it so that I am not confused.
> Technical description:
> If you deploy a new binary, restart, and issue nodetool
> scrub/compact/updatess etc you get unfriendly assertion. An exception would
> be easier to understand. Also if a user has turned assertions off it is
> unclear what might happen.
> {noformat}
> EC1: Throw exception to make it clear server is still in start up process.
