Hi Keith, for me the use cases are:
* easy and portable development * in general testing * embedding Accumulo Especially the last point is for me very insteresting. First I can deliver a relativly light weight application, which has Accumulo embedded (like a library). And then, if the application runs very well and gets many users, it's very easy to scale to a full Accumulo installation!
