Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7597:
-------------------------------------
I think there's no reason no to make it possible to load DatabaseDescriptor
without exiting or erroring, while providing some accessor to indicate if it
was valid; obviously CassandraDaemon needs to retain the current behaviour, but
that's not a major obstacle. I don't think there's any mention of any other
sysexit calls, so that shouldn't be a problem.
> System.exit() calls should be removed from DatabaseDescriptor

> Key: CASSANDRA-7597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7597
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Cassandra 2.0.9 (earlier version should be affected as
> well)
> Reporter: Pavel Sakun
>
> We're using SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter API to generate SSTable to be loaded
> into cassandra. In case of any issue with config DatabaseDescriptor calls
> System.exit() which is apparently not the thing you expect while using API.
> Test case is simple:
> System.setProperty( "cassandra.config", "" );
> new YamlConfigurationLoader().loadConfig();
> Thread.sleep( 5000 );
> System.out.println("We're still alive"); // this will never be called
