Hi Maxim. Thank you for your comments.
- Yes, the non-interactive mode is supported for all commands except "connect", "disconnect", "status". - Benefits of using REST as a communication realization between CLI and Ignite 3 cluster: 1) This approach seems to be the de-facto standard for the client-server communication 2) CLI can connect to any cluster it has a network connection 3) REST component already implemented in Ignite 3 4) REST client can be generated from Open API specification (see IEP-87 <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/IEP-87%3A+Open+API+support+for+REST>). 5) REST is languege-agnostic, so web ui or third party software can consume an API spec provided by the server. - Drawbacks of using REST: additional client and server libraries have to be included to the CLI and Ignite distributions. As for alternatives, I would mention that the custom sdk could be an option. But it requires a lot of afford to design and develop and can be used only by Java clients. - Yes, the command autocomplition provided out of the box. I've added an information about this. I'll add a brief overview of popular CLIs to the IEP. > On 13 May 2022, at 15:05, Maxim Muzafarov <mmu...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hello Aleksanrd, > > > The description looks good.
