Backstory: Dylan and I have had some heated debates on the subject and
disagree.
Looks like we did get some docs added for this too now that I look more
closely

While it may be possible, please do not do this. This is not a designed

Good afternoon,
I am trying to develop a custom iterator that has the ability to write
out data to another table. In the Accumulo book, there is a paragraph
that mentions that this is theoretically possible, however after
searching the internet, I have had no luck learning how this would be
possible. Is there some sort of API that I can use to write to a table
from inside the iterator’s code?
Thanks,
Leo
