How does everyone else feel about this? My usual stance wrt. JMX is that it should *only* be for management information and statistics, not control, but we already do have some control elements in there (starting/stopping a cache) so this does make sense on one level. But at what point does this start becoming a full cache interface, with put() and get()? Also, the problem with removeNode() is that the Fqn object won't work on a JMX console, and the String version only makes sense if you use Fqns made of Strings - and adds confusion/noise to the API if you don't.
