Accumulo configures a set of +system level iterators for each table. These iterators provide core +functionality like visibility label filtering and may not be removed by +users. User level iterators are applied in the order of their priority. +Priority is a user configured integer; iterators with lower numbers go first, +passing the results of their iteration on to the other iterators up the +stack. + \subsection{Setting Iterators Programmatically} \small
