I think the way you describe is the correct way
> Metron REST should return better error messages

> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ryan Merriman
> Assignee: Ryan Merriman

> Currently, Metron REST does not provide enough detail when an error happens.
> For example, an error that happens in the search endpoint will simply return
> "Could not execute search" with no detail and nothing in the metron-rest.log.
