+[Apache Fluo][fluo] is a distributed processing system that lets users make incremental updates to large
+data sets. With Apache Fluo, users can set up workflows that execute cross node transactions when data
+changes. These workflows enable users to continuously join new data into large existing data sets without
+reprocessing all data. Apache Fluo is an open source implementation of [Percolator][Percolator] (which
+populates Google's search index) that is built on [Apache Accumulo]. Check out the
+[Fluo project website][fluo] for news and general information.
