Funny you should mention it - I'm working on a framework to do JRuby Hadoop this week. Something like:
class MyHadoopJob < Radoop input_format :text_input_format output_format :text_output_format map_output_key_class :text map_output_value_class :text def mapper(k, v, output, reporter) # ... end def reducer(k, vs, output, reporter) end end Plus a java glue file to call the Ruby stuff. And then it jars up the ruby files, the gem directory, and goes from there. -- James Moore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ruby and Ruby on Rails consulting blog.restphone.com
