Report a Dgraph Bug

If you pass invalid badger options, dgraph will pass this to badger, and give user feedback as a stacktrace.

What version of Dgraph are you using?

v20.03.1

Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

not yet

What is the hardware spec (RAM, OS)?

Amazon Linux

Steps to reproduce the issue (command/config used to run Dgraph).

Start dgraph alpha with an invalid badger confgiuration, such as badger.vlog=ram

config.toml

mutations = 'disallow'
export = 'myexport'

[badger]
tables = 'ram'
vlog = 'ram'

Expected behavior and actual result.

If there was an invalid option, feedback to the user that the option is invalid, not pass the invalid option to badger.

The results from this are:

Also, server_state.go marks this an Info log entry instead of an Error log entry.

I think badger should have an API to validate the options. I don’t think this should be done inside Dgraph.
