sql on accumulo would not satisfy "a query language on accumulo" in my opinion. There are certain things that just don't make sense in sql with some more flexible schemas.
I'm actually talking about this subject at the accumulo meetup next week: http://www.meetup.com/Accumulo-Users-DC/events/178839102/ Not being a downer on the idea as i think phoenix support would be cool, just saying a query language to support everything that people have done with accumulo is something other than sql. > On Apr 29, 2014, at 7:48 AM, Mike Drob <[email protected]> wrote: > > James, > > I think there is a great desire for something like this on top of Accumulo. > We've actually had an open JIRA for exposing Accumulo through a query > language since Jan '13 - well over a year now. > > It hasn't progressed much beyond the "it would be nice" stage, but you can > track it at > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1014 > > However, I'm not sure that all of us understand the level of work that > would be required for this task (at least, I certainly don't).
