[jboss-as7-dev] Community AS8 Management API Changes and Freeze Dates

[Richard Achmatowicz]

Projected changes to clustering management APIs:

1. addition of runtime metrics to JGroups and Infinispan subsystems (a 
definite)
2. x-site (cross site) management configuration (a definite)
3. clustering subsystem (a possible)

1. involves:
(i) adding run-time metrics to existing Infinispan resources
/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=X
/subsystem=infinispan/cache-container=X/cache=Y
(ii) adding run-time metrics to new resources
/subsystem=jgroups/channel=X
/subsystem=jgroups/channel=X/protocol=Y

2. involves adding new resources for managing cross-site replication
- see 
http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/infinispan-dev/2012-October/011486.html

3. involves creating a new subsystem which permits viewing the 
participation of a node in a cluster
This is experimental at the moment.
