Hi guys, as suggested by Sanne, I've opened https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1453 to track implementation of a CLI for Infinispan. We already have Michal's very valuable work on ispncon: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Infinispan+Command-line+Console Shall we extend that with all the features I've listed in the JIRA issue, or shall we write a new one to remove the Python dependency.

I agree - if the target user is admins then sh followed closely by python makes sense. Much better than java.

Perhaps even better than java if the console is aimed for sys admins. And the fact that we already have the nice stuff from Michal makes me think python is the way the go > _______________________________________________ > infinispan-dev mailing list > infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev Alan Santos JBoss Product Manager 617.818.7735 alan.santos(a)redhat.com _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev

It would be cool if the CLI could connect to any cache, even without HotRod, like jconsole can connect to any running JVM. But I'm not sure how you could do it without asking the users to manage yet another port...

Unfortunately the fact that we need to use JMX means that we will have to abandon Python for Java (or use Jython as I wrote before). I don't see the requirement for java for the admin tool as particularly restrictive: Oracle requires that you install the full OCI client library, Cassandra's CLI is Java, and, if we look closer to home, AS7's CLI is Java too.
