Description

While ccm is a great orchestration tool to run Cassandra clusters locally, it may be desirable to run dtests against clusters running remotely, which may be orchestrated by some tool other than ccm. 

Dtest is heavily tied to CCM but with a few minor changes its possible to support plugging in other backends that maintain a similar (duck-typed) interface.
