With Apache Fluo, users can set up workflows that execute cross node transactions when data +changes. These workflows enable users to continuously join new data into large existing data sets without +reprocessing all data. Apache Fluo is an open source implementation of [Percolator][Percolator] (which +populates Google's search index) that is built on [Apache Accumulo]. Check out the Review comment: I agree. I think references to Google/Percolator should be removed from the README.md & main page of website. To provide users with background and give credit to paper for design, we should reference Percolator in the [design docs](https://fluo.apache.org/docs/fluo/1.2/getting-started/design). I will create another PR. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
