The main problem here is security: the admin endpoint will most likely 
have completely different security requirements (certificate, 
credentials, authorization) than the cache endpoint (be it Hot Rod, REST 
or whatever) and probably exposed on a separate network interface. And 
in the case of a domain controller scenario, on an entirely different 
host, which might not even be visible to clients.

While I agree that this does add some burden on the clients, the 
operation is simple enough. Much simpler than implementing the RACL 
would be.

Also, the "REST" endpoint already exists: the management endpoint on 
http[s]://xxx:9990 allows you to send DMR requests. That's what the 
console uses.
