Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-19476:
---------------------------------------------
I see in the PR that a "Native Management Transport" is being added. One thing
we implemented at DataStax when we did our "management api" was to expose the
access through a UNIX socket rather than a new TCP/IP port.
[https://github.com/k8ssandra/management-api-for-apache-cassandra/blob/master/management-api-agent-5.1.x/src/main/java/org/apache/cassandra/transport/UnixSocketServer51x.java|https://github.com/k8ssandra/management-api-for-apache-cassandra/blob/master/management-api-agent-5.1.x/src/main/java/org/apache/cassandra/transport/UnixSocketServer51x.java#L39]
If there is going to be another transport added, it may make sense to have that
as an option. The unix socket is nice because it means you can setup the
permissions access through the unix layer and then the cassandra process can be
accessed securely before setting up other auth inside Cassandra.

> We want to run management commands via CQL.
> The goals are:
> * To provide a way to run predefined management commands via CQL;
> * To provide a mechanism for retrieving command definitions and metadata via
> CQL;
> * To provide information on all available management commands via virtual
> tables;
> * To provide a registry that stores all C* commands and their metadata
> accordingly;
> * To internal instrumentation and a reasonable plan for migrating cluster
> management from JMX to CQL, taking into account backward compatibility and
> adopted deprecation policies;
