Detailed Description

The Apache Accumulo™ sorted, distributed key/value store is a robust, scalable, high performance data storage and retrieval system. Apache Accumulo is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Apache Accumulo features a few novel improvements on the BigTable design in the form of cell-based access control and a server-side programming mechanism that can modify key/value pairs at various points in the data management process.

Benefit to Fedora

Apache Accumulo offers a big data management store for Hadoop users. Including it in Fedora increases usefulness of the Apache Hadoop that is already in Fedora, by providing more options for data warehousing and analysis for academic and commercial users.
