Description

Saw an interesting article: http://www.fiercegovernmentit.com/story/sasc-accumulo-language-pro-open-source-say-proponents/2012-06-14

"The Senate Armed Services Committee version of the fiscal 2013 national defense authorization act (S. 3254) would require DoD agencies to foreswear the Accumulo NoSQL database after Sept. 30, 2013, unless the DoD CIO certifies that there exists either no viable commercial open source database with security features comparable to [Accumulo] (such as the HBase or Cassandra databases)..."

Not sure what a 'commercial open source database' is, and I'm not sure whats going on in the article, but tra-la-la'ing, if we had per-KeyValue 'security' like Accumulo's, we might put ourselves in the running for federal contributions?
