Joshua McKenzie updated CASSANDRA-13815:
----------------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> RPM package for client tools - cqlsh + nodetool
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-13815
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13815
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Dennis
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.x
>
>
> Feature request.
> I see you guys are picking up on the RPM packages.
> Thanks for that. That could even be improved if you could package the client
> tools as a separate or client-only package as well. That package could hold
> cqlsh and nodetool for example.
> That would support centralized, automated backup or other maintenance
> processes.
> Now the admin is forced to login to the box in order to use these tools,
> which is not really best practice, security wise. The admin would need to
> know an ssh account as well as the cassandra admin account.
> So, benefits or usage of a client package (cqlsh+nodetool):
> # Supports automated maintenance scripts (simply yum the client tools to a
> temporary vm)
> # Better security, as the admin doesn't need to ssh into the instance host.
> Without having to pull the full Cassandra packages on the clients.
> Datastax does have such client packages, but they don't support the community
> edition anymore, so I am hoping that you can do this going forward.
> Thanks!
