nodetool output through REST API?

[Yang <te...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to write a little python script to manage our cassandra cluster.

it uses output from nodetool, for example to find the current token
assignment, node status etc.

I could do this by parsing output from "nodetool ring" command.

but is there a more "native way" , for example through some REST API or
python API, so that I avoid
the possible changes in formatting of the output?

I checked pycassa, it doesn't seem to have an API for the JMX services


Thanks
Yang

Your best bet is probably to set up mx4j with Cassandra, which will expose
a REST api for all of the JMX stuff.
