Description

I typoed the keyspace arg to 'nodetool repair', and got the following exception:

/usr/local/src/cassandra/bin/nodetool --host node4 repair DocDb
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: No replica strategy configured for DocDb

It would be better to report that the keyspace doesn't exist, rather than the keyspace doesn't have a replication strategy.
