Marton Greber updated KUDU-3470:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
The control shell concept has been introduced to simplify/unify the client 
testing 
(https://github.com/apache/kudu/commit/761ce10b797c4f6345f0b84cfe30bcc92e346893)
In Java a proper mini cluster has been implemented in MiniKuduCluster.java.
However in Python we only have a bare minimum cluster start/stop functionality, 
with the option of hard coded default flags. There are many deficiencies for 
example the inability to set custom flags on a per test case basis, 
customise/interact with the mini cluster in an easy way.

This came up during testing considerations for JWT support. This is tightly 
coupled to a proper mini cluster setup, as the mini cluster spins up the oidc. 
Furthermore the jwt cluster object is necessary to create the jwt: 
https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/master/src/kudu/integration-tests/security-itest.cc#L537
During these operations protobuf is used, which is to this point not introduced 
to the Python testing infra (it uses JSON).
