Description
If you download a parquet-tools jar from e.g. maven central and simply run it without the "hadoop" command prefix:
`[jlilley@rpb-dev-cent7-1 ~]$ wget [https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/parquet/parquet-tools/1.11.1/parquet-tools-1.11.1.jar]`
`...`
`[jlilley@rpb-dev-cent7-1 ~]$ java -jar parquet-tools-1.11.1.jar --help`
`[jlilley@rpb-dev-cent7-1 ~]$`
it will fail because the hadoop dependencies are missing, and will fail silently because System.out and System.err have been replaced with VoidStream:
`System.setOut(VoidStream);`
`System.setErr(VoidStream);`
Because of this, the missing-class exceptions are not reported and user is left scratching head and wondering what happened. It is unclear why the message goes unreported, because the exception _should_ be printed to Main.err by die()
catch (Throwable th) {
` if (debug) th.printStackTrace(Main.err);`
` die(th, false, name, command);`
}
However, commenting out the System.setOut() and System.setErr() lines does indeed cause the stack trace to be shown.
**Environment**: I've tried this on both CentOS7 and Windows 10, using JDK 1.8.0_211
