I have not had experience with HDInsight. My first thoughts are that if it provides Hadoop and ZooKeeper for you, then that's a few less things to worry about from a maintenance perspective for your Accumulo cluster. On the other hand, if you can't run Accumulo nodes colocated with Hadoop DataNodes, then I wonder if you're losing some performance due to lack of data locality (on top of any performance hit from being in a virtual environment).
