Async Python client for Apache Accumulo's Thrift-proxy based on thriftpy2 and ideas from pyaccumulo.

Makes use of Python3 async/await mechanism and leverages async IO using the awesome async Thrift implementation from thriftpy2.

Under /resources you can find a Thrift schema for Accumulo 1.9.3 proxy proxy.thrift and a docker-compose.yml which starts up all the infrastructure for it: Zookeeper, HDFS data-node, HDFS name-node, Accumulo (master, tserver, monitor) and Thrift Proxy.

For this client to work Accumulo Thrift Proxy is required to use BinaryProtocol and FramedTransport (this seems to be hardcoded in proxy codebase). This is the configuration that has to go to $ACCUMULO_HOME/proxy/proxy.properties:

protocolFactory=org.apache.thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol$$Factory
tokenClass=org.apache.accumulo.core.client.security.tokens.PasswordToken
