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

We have triggered the first exception in the description by forcing the 
{{Directories$DataDirectory.getAvailableSpace()}} to return 0, so that 
{{availableSpace}} is less than {{estimatedWriteSize}}. And we found that, 
after the exception is thrown, the Cassandra node does not stop even if 
{{disk_failure_policy}} is set to {{stop}} (the default value). The second 
exception should have the same issue.

 

IMHO, it may be better to throw a {{FSWriteError}} wrapping an {{IOException}}, 
which is similar to CASSANDRA-11448, so that user's {{disk_failure_policy}} is 
honored. As a reference, {{Directories.getWriteableLocationAsFile()}} in 
Cassandra-3.11 also throws {{FSWriteError}} in a similar situation.

> Dear Cassandra developers, we are developing a tool to detect 
> exception-related bugs in Java. Our prototype has spotted the following two 
> {{throw}} statements whose exception class and error message indicate 
> different error conditions.

> {{RuntimeException}} is usually used to represent errors in the program logic 
> (think of one of its subclasses, {{NullPointerException}}), while the error 
> messages indicate that the Cassandra node is running out of disk space. This 
> mismatch could be a problem. For example, the callers may miss the 
> possibility that {{getWriteDirectory()}} can run out of disk space because it 
> does not throw an accurate exception class (e.g., CASSANDRA-11448). Or, the 
> callers trying to handle other {{RuntimeException}} may accidentally (and 
> incorrectly) handle the out of disk space scenario.
