   > It may be the case that not everyone has Thrift installed, and I agree 
that it's not the easiest thing to install. I'm thinking that for this issue we 
create a Docker build environment that can be used locally and by the automated 
build systems. The Docker image would have Java, Thrift, Maven, etc installed 
and would build the code that is checked out on the local filesystem (see 
[this](https://hub.docker.com/_/maven) for an idea of what I'm thinking). This 
would not preclude someone from building Accumulo in the way that they want.
   
   Re: barrier to entry... What @dlmarion suggests could also be used to set up 
[codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces). Codespaces are free for 
open source development, and as far as I can tell, are enabled on the Apache 
GitHub org. You can work entirely in a browser if you want (though at least 
Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs are supported too for remote development 
in the container), so there is no requirement to install software if you just 
want to play around a little bit.
