Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-6021:
----------------------------------------------
Your main issue here is that you haven't quoted 'replication_factor' in you
original request - and it's been invalid syntax since the very beginning. The
statement you tried to run is also for CLI, not for cqlsh.
Had you quoted it properly, you'd get a non-cryptic error:
{noformat}
create keyspace base_test with strategy_options = {'replication_factor':1} and
placement_strategy='org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy';
Bad Request: Unknown property 'placement_strategy'
{noformat}
> Creating keyspace fails with cryptic error.

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API
> Environment: Cassandra 1.2.8 installed on Mac (OS X 10.9 patch 7)
> Reporter: Jacob Rhoden
>
> Creating a keyspace returns a strange and cryptic error. (Java exception
> falling through to cqlsh)
> cqlsh> create keyspace base_test with strategy_options =
> {replication_factor:1} and
> placement_strategy='org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy';
> Bad Request: Failed parsing statement: [create keyspace base_test with
> strategy_options = {replication_factor:1} and
> placement_strategy='org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy';] reason:
> NullPointerException null
> I've tried increasing the logging level but I cant seem to get any more info
> about it. If there is other information I can provide that might be useful
> please let me know.
> Im still learning cassandra so its possible im doing something stupid, but
> either way, a null pointer exception is not an ideal error message.
