- The ability to lock a table (or perhaps locality group(s)) to memory
would be very intriguing. I know this is somewhat achievable via the
data block and index block cache, however I'm not sure if that's
entirely the same? At a minimum, we currently only have on/off caching
for a table.
- Continuous-ingest is pretty good baseline for determining how good of
a configuration exists. I think we could easily take it a step farther
to make >1node installation/initial-setup much less error prone, not to
mention create a more stable test harness for various "normal" Accumulo
workloads. This could also make internal testing much easier and
reproducible.
- Focus on the proxy. I think making the proxy a very user-friendly
endpoint will vastly increase the usability of Accumulo overall. It no
longer forces everyone into Java (or jython/jruby); however the proxy
could still use some love (I went to use it one night and then realized
I had to update my installed version of Thrift, boo).
Parroting some stuff other people mentioned..
- cleanup hook on SKVI
- Scanner/BatchScanner/ScannerBase cleanup
- auto tablet merge

Folks,
Now that we're past feature freeze for 1.5, I'd like to set up a discussion
of the features that Accumulo developers are interested in for 1.6 and
beyond. The purpose of this discussion will be to raise awareness of
projects that you think are cool and important, and to rally the community.
As a proposed format, let's plan on a series of 2-5 minute presentations of
individual features -- what it is, why it's important, how should we build
it, and who needs to help. We'll record the presentations for posterity.
Since the community is now distributed throughout several states, let's try
our hand at an online discussion. Depending on participation, we'll pick a
forum that can accomodate everyone. If you're interested in attending,
please fill out this doodle with what time you would be available:

If you can, please try to fill out the survey by Tuesday afternoon. After
we get a good feel for times and participation, I'll schedule an online
forum and send out a meeting invitation. If you would like to present a
feature, send me an email directly at afu...@apache.org, and I'll make sure
you get time to present it.
I look forward to seeing what everyone has up their sleeves!
Cheers,
Adam
