Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-9082:
--------------------------------------

I agree with Allen.  We should minimize scripting.  I fear that Python would 
encourage more scripting when what we need is less.  Scripts should be limited 
to things that cannot be done in Java.  Parallel versions (bash & bat) of a few 
simple scripts may be a necessary evil if Cygwin is unacceptable.
