IIRC, Accumulo *only* uses the HDFS client, so it needs something on the other side that can respond to that protocol. MiniAccumulo starts up MiniHDFS for this. You could run some other type of service locally that is HDFS client compatible (something like Quantcast QFS[1], setting up client [2]). If Accumulo is using something in Hadoop outside of the public client API, this may not work.
