Description

Server log shows messages like

[RMI TCP Connection(111118)-127.0.0.1] 2018-01-20 08:12:24,900 CompactionManager.java:415 - Cleanup cannot run before a node has joined the ring 

which is alarming because it seems to indicate a problem and that there is a node joining the ring.  Actually, the message "Cleanup cannot run before a node has joined the ring" can be produced even when there is not a node joining the ring (it looks like it can be produced when there are no sstables for the keyspace.table in question).

Request:

Change the wording of the message since the message indicates there's some problem due to node not joining the ring, even though that might not be the case.
