The current QMF console API is very general in nature. It can manage any schema that presents itself on the QMF bus. For customer use, it is desirable to have higher-level, limited-scope APIs for management. For example, a cluster-console API that provides access only to cluster nodes, their client connections, and load information. Such an API would provide methods for cluster maintenance and rebalancing. This could be used by a client to find the least-loaded node to connect to.
