> If you use nodetool and cassandra-cli, and have Thrift authentication, then you are required to pass in the password on the command-line.  This is a potential security issue.  For those that choose to do so, that's fine.  However, ideally, there would be a method of not doing that, which would prompt you to enter a password.  Understanding that no method is complete "secure", this would be certainly more so.
