Lars George commented on HBASE-6222:
------------------------------------
I was thinking about this as well a while back when Accumulo came up. In that
context I thought it might be good to have the option to add "tags" to each KV.
This can be used for security or other purposes, like replication or
transactional support. Another use case is filtering as these tags could have
special features like caching or indexes.
> Add per-KeyValue Security, get federal funding for HBase?

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Reporter: stack

> Saw an interesting article:
> http://www.fiercegovernmentit.com/story/sasc-accumulo-language-pro-open-source-say-proponents/2012-06-14
> "The Senate Armed Services Committee version of the fiscal 2013 national
> defense authorization act (S. 3254) would require DoD agencies to foreswear
> the Accumulo NoSQL database after Sept. 30, 2013, unless the DoD CIO
> certifies that there exists either no viable commercial open source database
> with security features comparable to [Accumulo] (such as the HBase or
> Cassandra databases)..."
> Not sure what a 'commercial open source database' is, and I'm not sure whats
> going on in the article, but tra-la-la'ing, if we had per-KeyValue 'security'
> like Accumulo's, we might put ourselves in the running for federal
> contributions?
