There are tradeoffs for both approaches. In Accumulo, for example, if you have row 1 | user props | bob | alpha | ts0 | foo=dee row 1 | user props | bob | beta | ts2 | foo=cats row 1 | user props | bob | production | ts1 | foo=bar then with your given user accesses, those users will see multiple cells and you'll need application logic to deal with it. -- Sean
