Sad example of where the one dept of the Fed comes up with a pretty good innovation and the bureaucracy tries to squash it. The NSA created Accumulo, a hadoop toolset, to tackle big data surveillance jobs. They had some issues with the available off the shelf solutions when they began this project. Namely the existing implementations were very immature, unproven, and not secure to the level that the NSA required.
Oh well, another example of how the government has snuffed inovation.
