+1. ERROR and even WARNING messages are often treated as incidents in the production systems. Ignite produces a lot of these messages though.
I’d suggest the following as a rule of thumb: - ERROR – we’re sure there is an issue with a node/cluster that needs attention; cluster stability and/or data integrity are in danger - WARNING – we’re not sure, but something might be wrong – cluster stability and/or data integrity could be in danger; we can’t verify if that’s an error or not, so user attention is needed - INFO – anything that we’d like to have in the logs which doesn’t indicate an unrecoverable problem (or possibility of it) - DEBUG – anything that we’d like to have in the logs but which would produce too much logging; can be enabled on testing environments for selected packages though - TRACE – anything that we’d like to have for deep debugging which probably wouldn’t help anyone but Ignite developers; can produce enormous amount of logs WDYT?

Apache Ignite is the compute platform. It means that an exception on a server node looks like an alarm that something went wrong or even broken. I think if we can catch the mistake from user request and return the correct response (e.g. with error code) is good enough and does not require throw the exception on nodes. >From the that standpoint the WARNING or even DEBUG is most suitable level to report such issues. Same approach may be used more widely for instance for wrong sql syntax.
