Description

umbrella bug for issues with DataFrame API error messages.

Many construction-time DataFrame API error messages state what went wrong, but don't explain why (e.g. which operation or flag lead to it), or help the user figure out how to address it. This jira tracks a few issues meant to address this gap.
