Hi, Is there a way to detect which version of Cassandra one is running? Is there an API for that, or a constant with this value, or maybe an MBean or some other way to get to this info?
Here's the use case: SPM monitors Cassandra <http://sematext.com/spm/>, but Cassandra MBeans and metrics have or may change over time. How will SPM agent know which MBeans to look for, which metrics to extract, and how to interpret values it extracts without knowing which version of Cassandra it's monitoring? It could try probing for some known MBeans and deduce Cassandra version from that, but that feels a little sloppy. Ideally, we'd be able to grab the version from some MBean and based on that extract metrics we know are exposed in that version of Cassandra.
