I was wondering. Does anyone here use Accumulo internally or for a client? I had not heard of it before and the line "widely used for government applications" made me wonder why I hadn't. I'm a consultant working with graphs in Norway and this database is completely new to me.

It was developed by the NSA based on Google's Bigtable paper, so it has a lot of US government users. I think Apache HBase or Cassandra are far more popular NoSQL solutions for most users.

  If you don't need cell level access control, you probably wouldn't be looking for it. I guess hbase now offers this too.

No. It's not popular at all since you can't get enterprise support for it. With Cassandra you can goto DataStax and if you are using HBase often you are using Hadoop therefore you can get support from Hortonworks or Cloudera.

  Really? Sqrrl and Cloudera offer support.

    Hortonworks also offers support for Apache Accumulo.

The principles applied in the paper aren't limited to Accumulo.
