Probably, yes. > Also, is there any consideration in the future to provide stats via JMX? Unless you're getting it from a client, no. Again, please take a look at those protocol documents. Parsing the stats is incredibly trivial and you probably don't have to pull in a whole client library as a dependency just for that. Also, again, it the document describes the stats in detail.
