Thanks Dennis, I was about to write that.

This is actually trickier than you think: Infinispan can theoretically 
use any kind of data for keys/values (including custom Java classes). 
Furthermore these keys/values may be wrapped by service-specific 
containers making it very difficult to implement some kind of CRUD 
interface.
You could probably latch on to the Infinispan CLI server component 
(which incidentally is also exposed as an MBean) and provides solutions 
for most of the above problems.
