Description

It is possible to enable/disable thrift and native server via nodetool. However, there is a slight difference in their behaviour. In the case of thrift server, if the server is already running, enable will ignore and will not throw any exceptions. However, in the case of native server if the server is already running an exception is thrown. In the case of thrift, we check if the server is already running but not in the case of binary. The exception is perfectly valid, but, we should have consistent behaviour with thirft and binary server.
