reads, which differs from the more common full file read used in most
map/reduce applications. We have found that certain versions of Accumulo

If we want to be future-proof, I'm really not sure we should be
recommending or not recommending any particular version. We can describe which
versions we've built and tested with, but that's about it. Figuring out which
range of versions which work is a dependency convergence and/or downstream
integration testing issue.
