In thrift, a lot of exceptions (like PreparedQueryNotFoundException) are
simply returned as InvalidRequestException. The reason for that was a mix
of not wanting to change the thrift API too much and because we didn't knew
how to return a lot of different exception with thrift without making it
horrible to work with. So you'll probably have to parse strings here indeed.
This will be cleaner/less fragile if you use the binary protocol as
exceptions are more fined grained there.
Though taking a step back (and without saying that you shouldn't handle the
case where a query is not prepared on the node you contact), if you're
really considering preparing more than 100000 statements, I'd suggest that
it might be worth benchmarking whether using prepared statements in your
case is really going to be worth the trouble. Just saying.
