4. Sean Busbey on Apache Accumulo, Feb. 4 at 6:30 p.m.
Apache Accumulo extends the BigTable data model, adding a new element to the key called Column Visibility. This element stores a logical combination of security labels that must be satisfied at query time in order for the key and value to be returned as part of a user request. This allows data of varying security requirements to be stored in the same table, and allows users to see only those keys and values for which they are authorized.
