There wasn't any discussions in those tickets as to what Hadoop 2 provides Accumulo. If we're going to still support 1, then any new features only possible with 2 have to become optional until we ditch support for 1. Is there anything people have in mind, feature wise, that Hadoop 2 would help with?
