Accumulo
Apache Accumulo is a sorted, distributed key-value store based on Google's Bigtable and HDFS. First designed and developed by a team in NSA, Accumulo's mission is to support big data storing and processing, but at the same time enforce fine-grained data access control. In particular, the team in NSA extends Bigtable in a way that Accumulo can control the access of individual data elements. Accumulo is currently an open source project under Apache v2 license.
