             Summary: Invalid cdc_raw_directory prevents server startup
                 Key: CASSANDRA-15688
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15688
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Feature/Change Data Capture
            Reporter: Jon Meredith
            Assignee: Jon Meredith


If {{cdc_raw_directory}} is set to an invalid directory it prevents startup of 
the server even when cdc_enabled is set false.

The directory can either be set directly by the {{cdc_raw_directory}} setting 
in configuration YAML or indirectly via the {{cassandra.storage_dir}} system 
property, which is how I encountered it.

Easy to reproduce by setting {{cdc_raw_directory}} to {{notadir/notasubdir}}

Additionally while investigating, discovered that 
{{DatabaseDescriptor.guessFileStore}} can cause a {{NullPointerException}} if 
it runs out of parent elements
 before it can get a FileStore. It should provide a more useful 
ConfigurationException providing details on the problematic path.
 {{guessFileStore}} is used for checks on {{commitlog_directory}}, 
{{cdc_raw_directory}} and {{data_file_directories}}.
