I'd be happy to get a management web interface on each cassandra node so i can easily (and visually) see what's going on with the node. Things like all the properties currently exposed by JMX and perhaps some graphs. I'd like to simply browse to http://cassandra1:12345/monitor and view the data and graphs.
I realize that ones JMX is exposed you can do almost everything with it, but still I think it'd be nicer to get that kind of monitoring out of the box. It can even be done better as a web UI, for example it can visualize how keys are distributed in the ring, you can click links and browse the next host, see what cassandra thinks of your rack-aware definitions etc, can be nice for debugging and setup. Have you seen this request in the past? What are your thoughts?
