Hi John, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-259 is dated in January and it talks to ZKAuthentictor being schedule for 1.5. Would you be able to provide an update on the status? It's almost a year later and 1.5 is on the horizon. It would be awesome to be able to make the statement that, "Accumulo will have robust authentication in the 1.5 release.", especially given the window of opportunity!
Those supporting competing technologies are making statements like, "we plan to implement 'this' in future releases" or "we're close but not there yet" (although they already have authentication). There are subtle but significant difference in technologies that do and ones that will do, soon. Thanks, Mike PS - Thanks for the feedback, Mike ________________________________________ From: Mike Drob [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2012 5:37 PM To: [email protected] Cc: John Vines Subject: Re: Authentication - Kerberose There are a couple tickets that involve making Accumulo and Kerberos play nice - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-404 was to get accumulo running on a kerberized HDFS https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-259 is for potentially delegating the authentications to an external system (i.e. KRB) It looks like it was planned for 1.5, but John can probably chime in and let us know of the status.

I’m working with multiple customers that are collecting data to make decisions to use Accumulo or other technologies. The absence of strong authentication with Accumulo is a major concern (and less subjective). Also, is there a POC for new features that will be available in 1.5?
