Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3979:
-------------------------------------------

bq. maybe that would break super-fragile clients that depend on exact error 
messages

That seems like a reasonable risk to take.
                
> Consider providing error code with exceptions (and documenting them)

> It could be a good idea to assign documented error code for the different 
> exception raised. Currently, one may have to parse the exception string (say 
> if one wants to know if its 'create keyspace' failed because the keyspace 
> already exists versus other kind of exception), but it means we cannot 
> improve the error message at the risk of breaking client code. Adding 
> documented error codes with the message would avoid this.
