> Dear Cassandra developers, we are developing a tool to detect 
> exception-related bugs in Java. Our prototype has spotted the following two 
> {{throw}} statements whose exception class and error message indicate 
> different error conditions.

> Version: Cassandra-3.11 (commit: 123113f7b887370a248669ee0db6fdf13df0146e) 
> File: 
> CASSANDRA-ROOT/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/compaction/writers/CompactionAwareWriter.java
> Line: 222 & 231
> {code:java}
> if (availableSpace < estimatedWriteSize)
>     throw new RuntimeException(String.format("Not enough space to write %s to 
> %s (%s available)",
>                                              
> FBUtilities.prettyPrintMemory(estimatedWriteSize),
>                                              d.location,
>

>     throw new RuntimeException(String.format("Not enough disk space to store 
> %s",
>

> {{RuntimeException}} is usually used to represent errors in the program logic 
> (think of one of its subclasses, {{NullPointerException}}), while the error 
> messages indicate that the Cassandra node is running out of disk space. This 
> mismatch could be a problem. For example, the callers may miss the 
> possibility that {{getWriteDirectory()}} can run out of disk space because it 
> does not throw an accurate exception class (e.g., CASSANDRA-11448). Or, the 
> callers trying to handle other {{RuntimeException}} may accidentally (and 
> incorrectly) handle the out of disk space scenario.
