I know from personal conversations that there are some performance issues
with the Python API.
How are we going to proceed with this change? Are we going to merge it with
a big "BETA / preview" disclaimer or are we going to fix the performance issues
first?
I'm a bit undecided on this. Merging it early would allow us to assess if
users are interested in such a feature. On the other hand, people will probably
ignore the disclaimer and start benchmarking the python API.
By merging it early, we see if people from the community are picking it up
to develop it further. I don't know.
What do you think?

> 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)
