I assume those authors will continue to maintain it, accepting pull requests and improving functionality. Can we get confirmation on that? If that's the case, I think the concerns about it being ignored are relatively low risk. In theory, it could also be another surface, from which we can recruit new developers into the community. I'm willing to give this a +1, since it provides tools which primarily benefit Accumulo developers by enabling more release testing and because it is already authored/maintained by members of this community. That is provided we can address any other issues, like ensuring it works for this community, and not just for CDH (which, I imagine is a mutual goal of the authors).
