Recommendations on documentation of data model?
I have started designing a data model/schema for a new application that
will use Accumulo as data storage. I am looking for a good way to
document my model in a way that makes it understandable for other
developers that will use the same data in the future.
Does anybody here have good experience how to do it?
My first thought was using a spreadsheet just listing and describe the
combinations of Family, Qualifier and requirements on the values.
Regards,
/Magnus

I've tried to collect links here: https://accumulo.apache.org/papers.html
but I've undoubtedly missed some. There are more in afuchs' slides
directory.

Are there more of these "hidden" presentations about Accumulo?
This is a good stuff.

There are a couple of different representations in these slides:
http://people.apache.org/~afuchs/slides/accumulo_table_design.pdf
The hierarchical method can provide additional clarity when used alongside
the spreadsheet method.

Thanks! Both your and Billies answer have given me some inspiration.

Hi Magnus,
Even though this is not an Accumulo, but HBase related presentation I
recommend reviewing it.
HBase, Cassandra and Accumulo are all based on BigTable design and
lots of best practices apply - specially
between HBase and Accumulo:
