Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-3979:
---------------------------------------------
bq. it would have been nice to include the extra information for Thrift clients
too- even if it's just rendered into the error string. But maybe that would
break super-fragile clients that depend on exact error messages?
That was the reason I was conservative initially here. But if we're willing to
break the super-fragile clients, I'm absolutely good doing that.
> 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.
