Hello everyone,
I was wondering why did the developers chose java for writing accumulo.
What advantage it has over using any other language say C++(in which
another popular nosql database MongoDB is written) in context of accumulo?
Thanks

Short answer is probably because Hadoop was written in Java :smile:
Some general points brought up by Doug Cutting for choosing Java for
Hadoop (back in the Nutch days) are probably applicable here too
* Java's code is portable and platform independent which is based on
Write Once Run Anywher
We have a small amount of C++ code used to manage all data written to
Accumulo. Using C++ for this very small amount of high performance, memory
intensive code has worked out well. Coding task that do not need to be
high performance in Java, like tablet assignment and management of cluster
state
Thank you Josh and Keith.

Yes good point. Any client side code can utilize thrift.
