As reproduced in cql-pytest/test_json.py and reported in issue #7911,
failing fromJson() calls should return a FUNCTION_FAILURE error, but
currently produce a generic SERVER_ERROR, which can lead the client
to think the server experienced some unknown internal error and the
query can be retried on another server.
This patch adds a new cassandra_exception subclass that we were missing -
function_execution_exception - properly formats this error message (as
described in the CQL protocol documentation), and uses this exception
in two cases:
1. Parse errors in fromJson()'s parameters are converted into a
function_execution_exception.
2. Any exceptions during the execute() of a native_scalar_function_for
function is converted into a function_execution_exception.
In particular, fromJson() uses a native_scalar_function_for.
Note, however, that functions which already took care to produce
a specific Cassandra error, this error is passed through and not
converted to a function_execution_exception. An example is
the blobAsText() which can return an invalid_request error, so
it is left as such and not converted. This also happens in Cassandra.
All relevant tests in cql-pytest/test_json.py now pass, and are
no longer marked xfail. This patch also includes a few more improvements
to test_json.py.
Fixes#7911
