-------------------------------------------

[~samt] [~blerer] 

I've started working on this and mentioned a discrepancy between non-auth (key, 
row, counter, chunk) and auth caches. The non-auth caches are weighted (they do 
care about weight of a single entry) whereas the auth caches are non-weighted. 
Particularly it affects _Capacity_ and _Size_ attributes of the MBeans. For 
weighted caches they represent size of entries in bytes, for non-weighted 
caches they represent number of entries.

Current changes do not particularly handle this logical discrepancy (the only 
thing I've done is renaming of capacity_bytes -> capacity and size_bytes -> 
size in the corresponding VT). What can be actually done to make the logic a 
bit clearer:
 # Introduce "weighted" column to the VT and add corresponding notes to the 
documentation on how to treat capacity and size for weighted/non-weighted 
caches. But we can mention that without having the new column.
 # Make auth caches weighted. I feel it would make things even worse because it 
is not really required from logical standpoint (and it would be hard to 
precisely calculate used memory for auth caches).
 # Completely separate metrics for weighted and non-weighted caches. It is 
opposite to unification I supposed to achieve by this ticket. However, it 
should make things clear and precise.

Please, share your thoughts (maybe you have other ideas). I linked a draft PR 
for your reference.

> Unlike to other caches (row, key, counter), Auth Caches lack some monitoring 
> capabilities. Here are a few particular changes to get this inequity fixed:
>  # Add auth caches to _system_views.caches_ VT
>  # Expose auth caches metrics via JMX
>  # Add auth caches details to _nodetool info_
