Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-928: --------------------------------------- FWIW -- I would rather few languages were supported, and were fast, than support a lot of languages that are all unusably slow. Ten times slower than Pig is in the unusable range, imo. > UDFs in scripting languages > --------------------------- > > Key: PIG-928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-928 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alan Gates > Attachments: package.zip, scripting.tgz, scripting.tgz > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
