Yeah, for building a real security-tagging system, the labeling that
Accumulo does is only one "piece of the puzzle". For example, you would
likely have external systems that define the authorizations that your
users would have. The authorization and labeling that Accumulo does is a
hard piece of that puzzle on its own, it's just not, in itself, a
complete solution for you to pull off the shelf.
A very valid criticism of Accumulo would be that there aren't good
public examples available that show how this can be built (they're
always talked about in the abstract).
Such a practical example would be of great worth to the project/community.

Hi Again guys,
Thanks Josh& Dylan for the suggestions, here are our updates regarding the
data ingestion& visibility issues.
We've tried several workaround and used some of the suggestions offered for
our particular issues, and we've decided for the data ingestion to use the
bulk ingestion as the most suitable approach for getting large data sets
into accumulo.
"creating Accumuo RFiles and performing bulk ingest/bulk loading is by far
the most efficient way to getting data into Accumulo."
However, for the visibility issue, we don't find any suitable solution from
accumulo (at the moment) to handle the situation. We have suspected that
accumulo's visibility is more towards labeling, turns out it is true :(.
Hence, we decided to build (sort of) security layer for user's data
visibility level. We're on a tight schedule, this won't be the final
solution, but definitely will help us mend the situation a bit. Hopefully
we'll come up/find something better in the near future.
Thanks again for the help guys, much appreciated. Cheers
