Jeff Jirsa commented on CASSANDRA-7622:
---------------------------------------

I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about this - I'd like to take a shot at presenting an interface and proposing a few sample virtual tables that can be included by default.

> There are a variety of reasons to want virtual tables, which would be any table that would be backed by an API, rather than data explicitly managed and stored as sstables.
> One possible use case would be to expose JMX data through CQL as a resurrection of CASSANDRA-3527.
> Another is a more general framework to implement the ability to expose yaml configuration information. So it would be an alternate approach to CASSANDRA-7370.
> A possible implementation would be in terms of CASSANDRA-7443, but I am not presupposing.
