Hey everyone, thanks again for all of the feedback. I've updated CEP-53 <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-53%3A+Cassandra+Rolling+Restarts+via+Sidecar> to discuss how rolling restarts and future cluster-wide operations can be integrated into the existing operational job framework. For the most part, you can find these updates in the OperationalJob Framework <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-53%3A+Cassandra+Rolling+Restarts+via+Sidecar#CEP53:CassandraRollingRestartsviaSidecar-OperationalJobFramework>, API <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-53%3A+Cassandra+Rolling+Restarts+via+Sidecar#CEP53:CassandraRollingRestartsviaSidecar-API>, and New or Changed Public Interfaces <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-53%3A+Cassandra+Rolling+Restarts+via+Sidecar#CEP53:CassandraRollingRestartsviaSidecar-NeworChangedPublicInterfaces> sections. I also addressed any outstanding comments or questions that were raised in this discussion thread.
I'll give folks a few days to look over the CEP again in case there are any other questions, and hope to start the voting process next week.
