    Thanks, I have two last requests, sorry for that.
    
    Could you rename flink-generic to flink-language-binding-generic? The 
problem is, that the package name is now flink-generic, it pops up like this in 
maven central and so on without the information that it is actually a sub 
package of flink-language-binding. This could be quite confusing.
    
    In MapFunctin.py and FilterFunction.py you use map() and filter() 
respectively. These operations are not lazy, i.e. in map() it does first apply 
the user map-function to every element in the partition and then it collects 
the results. This can become a problem if the input is very big. Instead we 
should iterate over the iterator and output each element after mapping. This 
keeps memory consumption low. Same applies to filter().

> A general purpose API to run operators with arbitrary binaries. 
> This will allow to run Stratosphere programs written in Python, JavaScript, 
> Ruby, Go or whatever you like. 
> We suggest using Google Protocol Buffers for data serialization. This is the 
> list of languages that currently support ProtoBuf: 
> https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/wiki/ThirdPartyAddOns 
> Very early prototype with python: 
> https://github.com/rmetzger/scratch/tree/learn-protobuf (basically testing 
> protobuf)
> For Ruby: https://github.com/infochimps-labs/wukong
> Two new students working at Stratosphere (@skunert and @filiphaase) are 
> working on this.
> The reference binding language will be for Python, but other bindings are 
> very welcome.
> The best name for this so far is "stratosphere-lang-bindings".
> I created this issue to track the progress (and give everybody a chance to 
> comment on this)
