------------------------------------------
Re: bouncycastle...
It's true that it's not at all necessary for the mainline, running accumulo
with SSL connections scenario. It is necessary for provisioning certs (Sun's
default JSSE provider does not provide any way to sign certs). So, if someone
is willing to bring their own certs for each node, you can get everything up
and running without it. But, the tool to help sign and distribute certs for
each node will have a real code dependency on BC (not just as a JSSE provider
that can be conditionally loaded). We could probably get away with not
distributing it anyway, but you'll get ClassNotFound exceptions if you run the
cert provisioning code, run a MAC with SSL enabled, or run integration tests.
If it's possible to satisfy the export control requirements (per Vines's links
above), it sounds like that's a better plan.
