IMO, the HBase project would be more into collaborating than it would be up for competing. The differences listed in the proposal are minor IMO. If you'd come to the hbase project, even now, today, and said add a label to the KeyValue and you'll get a set of smart developers on board and a bunch of new users, it would be done. I agree w/ Doug that 'unlikely to' is not a correct characterization. Similar for Accumulo Iterators (hbase TRUNK coprocessors seem to be a more generic Iterator facility). But rumor has it though that the differences while small looking when described in a short incubator proposal, in implementation, the code is very different making an integration project, unfortunately, a piece of work. I'd be up for exploring how we can come together. I've not seen the code so excuse me my idealism. The discussion here has been enlightening. The circumstances that brought about this proposal are explained and why you could not ask the hbase project do something like add a label to KeyValue. I'm gung-ho on gov going more foss. If you lads are helping along that effort, more power to you. I'm looking forward to the code drop. That you didn't use more hbase code must mean that you came up with something better. We want to rob what you've come up with. St.Ack HBase Chief Janitor P.S.
