Accumulo is designed deeply with authorization and access control in mind. Every time Ive spoken with [edit: people at the] NSA, I wind up hearing about how much time they spend just jumping through hoops to avoid looking at information they aren't supposed to.
Accumulo is also a suitable data store for education and medical data, where there's also lots of regulation over who can see what.
The linked article is reactionary and has no substance.

- deno 13y agoEven if they “didn’t collect that much” they still need to protect sensitive data.
- carterschonwald 13y agoExactly. Medical records are a great example. If you get a new doctor, you have to give them written authorization so that they can get your old medical records. They can't just say "look I'm a MD, give me the datas", partly because that would be a felony! Same sort of regulation, albeit more complicated, applies to NSA.
