That article, and these questions, seem to be about AWS support of
Accumulo versions using Amazon's EMR. It might be best to ask Amazon
directly about what they do and don't support, since it's their recipe
and their features. As I understand it, though, EMR is just a
specialized distribution of Hadoop. You don't necessarily have to use
EMR to run Hadoop in AWS. So, even if Amazon doesn't support newer
Accumulo versions on EMR using the recipe you found, you could just
try to run your own Hadoop instance on EC2.

Regarding running Accumulo 2.0 and Java 13+: while we have tried to
address many issues running Java 11 with Accumulo 2.0, it's possible
there are some issues that weren't backported from 2.1. One issue, for
example, is that 2.0 still defaults to using CMS instead of G1 for the
Java garbage collector. CMS was deprecated and then removed in more
recent versions of Java. 2.1 should have really good support for newer
Java versions, though when it is released. Although it will require
Java 11, I've tried to do development using the latest Java versions
(currently using Java 16), to try to detect any new issues that might
arise. Please let us know if you find any issues running newer Java
versions. I definitely want to try to fix those if we can.
