Review comment:
This reads like a supporting paragraph. I generally think the description
should introduce the project (like a thesis statement), and read like an answer
to the question "What IS it?" as in "Apache Accumulo is ....", and only then
follow up with what can be done with it, or how it might be used, or what
characteristics it might have.
How about: "Apache Accumulo is a distributed sorted storage system for
key/value pairs. With it, users can store and manage very large data sets
across a cluster. ..."
