Ashutosh Chauhan commented on PIG-928:
--------------------------------------
Right, I overlooked it. I think Ruby and Python are two most widely used
scripting languages and both are supported by BSF. So, comparing BSF with
direct bindings:
1) Performance : Initial test shows almost equal.
2) Support of multiple languages.
3) Ease of implementation
To me, BSF seems to be the way to go for this, atleast the first-cut.
Implementing this feature using BSF will allow us to expose this to users
quickly and if many people are using it and finding one particular language to
be slow then we can explore language bindings for that particular language.
Thoughts?
> UDFs in scripting languages

> It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python,
> ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar,
> etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over
> Java.
