------------------------------------------------------------------------
[~andrew.tolbert] all of what you mentioned in 1) should be indeed moved to
tools. There are two cases when a tool can be used
a) when we test a tool itself
b) when we test something else and executing a tool is just a mean to get there
For a) it is a no-brainer and should be moved to tools. For b) you see that for
sstableloader we have "server side tool" which is not depending on the driver.
So I would expect that, similarly, for FQL tool, if we really need it in
server, could not FQL also work without a driver? If sstableloader did it, why
fqltool could not? BulkLoader in tools is just a wrapper around SSTableLoader.
BulkLoader is using driver because it needs to know the details about server
but "outside" of server. So similar abstraction might be done for FQL.

> Akin to fqltool and stress, we should move sstableloader to its own tools
> directory. This is needed to decouple the java driver as a dependency from
> server code ([CASSANDRA-20326]).
> For backwards compatibility reasons, we should retain {{bin/sstableloader}}.
