Worked on the apache/druid repository to enhance user-facing error messaging for query planner errors. Focused on reclassifying certain errors from an administrative to a user context, making feedback more actionable and reducing confusion for end users. This adjustment involved careful changes to error taxonomy and required a strong understanding of backend development and error handling in a large Java codebase. The work was tracked through detailed commit messages and pull request linkage, ensuring traceability for future reviews. By improving the clarity of error messages, the changes aimed to streamline troubleshooting and reduce support overhead for users interacting with the API.
