We should provide a client library which is capable of performing remote administration operations using the DMR. This would be used in a number of places: as a general remote admin client, as a helper for remote JCache, to allow Teiid to perform alias switching in remote configurations.
The client should provide a subset of management operations which are available within a server:
- creation/removal of caches
- creation/removal of cache configurations
- cache lifecycle management (start/stop)
- switching cache aliases
- etc
If possible we should reuse the embedded configuration API.
The client will use the security policies enabled in the management security domain of the server.
The remote admin client should be packaged as a separate jar from the infinispan-remote jar: infinispan-remote-admin-$VERSION.jar. This uberjar would contain the necessary jboss client, xnio and other dependencies required to communicate with the admin endpoint.
