[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-3220) add describe_ring to cli

["Jonathan Ellis (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13147165#comment-13147165 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3220:
-------------------------------------------

bq. Is it feasible to add that to nodetool ring instead?

I still think nodetool is the right place to put this.  cli / cqlsh should be interacting with data, let's keep the ops part in nodetool as much as possible.
