Yes good point. Any client side code can utilize thrift. From: dlmar...@comcast.net [mailto:dlmar...@comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2015 5:04 PM To: user@accumulo.apache.org Subject: Re: Question regarding java being the choice for 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.

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.

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
