I have a minor suggestion to move the words "standalone and java" closer to the initial description and remove the double "library" usage but otherwise I think it looks good.
"Accumulo Access is a standalone java library that provides the same functionality, semantics, and syntax as the Accumulo ColumnVisibility and VisibilityEvaluator classes." If you want to explicitly call out the library separation vs infer it with "standalone", you could do one of the following: "Accumulo Access is a standalone java library that provides the same functionality, semantics, and syntax as the Accumulo ColumnVisibility and VisibilityEvaluator classes while not requiring the use of Accumulo" "Accumulo Access is a standalone java library that provides the same functionality, semantics, and syntax as the Accumulo ColumnVisibility and VisibilityEvaluator classes. Access can be used separately from Accumulo." - Dan On Tue, Feb 20, 2024 at 3:09 PM dev1 <d...@etcoleman.com> wrote: > +1 > > LGTM. > > Ed Coleman > > From: Dave Marion <dmario...@gmail.com> > Date: Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 2:42 PM > To: dev@accumulo.apache.org <dev@accumulo.apache.org> > Subject: Re: [DRAFT][ANNOUNCE] Apache Accumulo Access 1.0.0-beta > ok, I can make those corrections and will send it out.
