I’m not sure what the motivation behind the question is, but one other thing to 
keep in mind is that you can write you own program in whatever language you 
want and still use Accumulo. Accumulo uses Apache Thrift, so you can use 
whatever language you want with Accumulo. You just need to compile the thrift 
code to your language of choice. Thrift will give you an Accumulo API in that 
language. 



So if you really want to write you code in C++, you can do that and still use 
Accumulo. You will need a JVM to run Accumulo itself, but your code won’t need 
to be java based.

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 is nice.

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 
Vaibhav
