Aleksei Zotov commented on CASSANDRA-16404:
-------------------------------------------

[~samt] thanks for the detailed explanation! Virtual tables sound like a full 
re-work, but it is not a problem at all. It is a good chance to get familiar 
with them! I'll need some time to understand the details around virtual tables 
and the way to use them for caches. -If- Once I have some question, I'll get 
back to you. In the meantime, I'll move the ticket back to "IN PROGRESS".

> We currently have nodetool commands to invalidate certain caches like 
> KeyCache, RowCache and CounterCache. 
> Being able to invalidate auth caches as well can come in handy in situations 
> where, critical backend auth changes may need to be in effect right away for 
> all the connections, especially in configurations where cache validity is 
> chosen to be for a longer duration. An example can be that an authenticated 
> user "User1" is no longer authorized to access a table resource "table1" and 
> it is vital that this change is reflected right away, without having to wait 
> for cache expiry/refresh to trigger.
