I think these would be an excellent addition, given the improvements David suggested. Since they span a range of Accumulo uses, they are probably best served as a contrib repository[1] rather than an Accumulo version-specific example.
In any case this will involve adopting a non-trivial code base developed outside of the project; we'll need to go through the ASF Incubator[2]. Before that can happen we'll need to call a vote[3].
