Hi, folks Thanks so much for all the responses and comments.
We don't have or support Accumulo yet We support HBase. There have been requests for Accumulo. Like Ted said, almost all from Federal sector and Banks (even foreign banks). They seem to have References or reference implementations for their use cases. My work of persuasion for HBase has not been very successful. I had looked into the HBase cell security. There are maybe some differences and misses like Sean mentioned. I think overall the visibility coverage plus the ACL are great. Technology aside, Accumulo's reputation in the specific areas it is good at is probably there. It will probably be slow evolving process ...
