Lyuben Todorov commented on CASSANDRA-7398:
-------------------------------------------
A possible approach that avoids the exception and the second try / catch might
be checking if the environment is windows using {{!FBUtilities.isUnix();}} and
then checking if the string supplied contains the _file:///_ prefix. If the
prefix is not present warn the user that they are on windows and so they need
to have it, modify the url and avoid having to carry out try-catches after an
exception is thrown.
> Using the -Dcassandra.config VM param needs a "file:///" prefix for the
> supplied URL
