Description

The error messages upon validation of JdbcIO should be sentences that explain to a user how to rectify the situation. As it is, they look like internal SDK errors.

Here is where they are: https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/jdbc/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/jdbc/JdbcIO.java#L319
