Features I'd like to see: 1. Better user experience for configuration: separate, *non-xml* configuration files for separate services, and for clients. 2. Separate packaging for separate services (tservers, monitor, master, trace), especially for RPMs and DEBs to make provisioning easier. 3. A suite of command-line utilities based on the shell's commands, that work in Bash, rather than be restricted to the limitations of the shell to issue these commands. 4. Provide a script maintained and supported by the community to provision an Accumulo cloud instance in EC2 or OpenStack.
