It enables interaction with the node through CQL protocol without authentication. It gives full-permission access.
The maintenance socket is available by Unix domain socket with file permissions `755`, thus it is not accessible from outside of the node and from other POSIX groups on the node.
It is created before the node joins the cluster.
To set up the maintenance socket, use the `maintenance-socket` option when starting the node.
* If set to `ignore` maintenance socket will not be created.
* If set to `workdir` maintenance socket will be created in `<node's workdir>/cql.m`.
* Otherwise maintenance socket will be created in the specified path.
The default value is `ignore`.
* With python driver
```python
from cassandra.cluster import Cluster
from cassandra.connection import UnixSocketEndPoint
from cassandra.policies import HostFilterPolicy, RoundRobinPolicy
socket = "<node's workdir>/cql.m"
cluster = Cluster([UnixSocketEndPoint(socket)],
# Driver tries to connect to other nodes in the cluster, so we need to filter them out.
load_balancing_policy=HostFilterPolicy(RoundRobinPolicy(), lambda h: h.address == socket))
session = cluster.connect()
```
Merge note: apparently cqlsh does not support unix domain sockets; it
will have to be fixed in a follow-up.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
