I would like to create a new git repository named accumulo-access in the ASF and want to know if anyone has thoughts about creating this repo. This new repo would be a home for the Accumulo access module being created in 3715[1].
Once this repository is created, then the following could happen. 1. Finish creating the stand alone library that offers Accumulo's current visibility functionality. 2. Release the new library. 3. Adapt Accumulo 3.1 or later to use this new library for its implementation of ColumnVisibility, adding it as a new dependency to Accumulo. One risk with creating this repository is that a release never happens from it and we are left with an unused git repo hanging around. Another risk is that the name could change before release, it seems this can be handled with a Jira issue to INFRA to rename the git repo. Are there any other risks? I looked into creating a new git repo and ASF offers self service tools that make this easy. Renaming is not self service as far as I can tell, but I did find Jira issues where other projects requested a rename w/o problem. [1]: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/3715
