This was an in depth technical panel discussion on the Accumulo Project led by Adam Fuchs from the National Security Agency. The moderator was Adam Suri, Sr VP Cyber Technologies, Secure Technologies Group and board member of the Chesapeake Regional Tech Council.

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.

This meeting was an exciting content rich discussion filled with lively interaction by all who attended.
