HDFS replication is transparent to Accumulo (though, the number of replicas is configurable in Accumulo, on a per-table basis). Its primary purpose is failure tolerance, but it *may* have an impact on read performance. I'm not certain how significant that is, though.
There is no separate read-only and write-only copies of data on HDFS. HDFS replication is at the block level, and files are updated by appending new blocks to the files. All blocks are readable, and only new blocks are written.
