Yes, it will be interesting. HBase has a larger community and user base, which will surely help in its adoption. Accumulo & HBase have very similar architectures and purposes, so much that the NSA caught a little heat from the Senate (http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/07/nsa-accumulo-go...). If you absolutely need cell level security than you might want to go with Accumulo, otherwise, use HBase.
