Has anybody ever tried/considered using the Bean Scripting Framework within Hadoop? BSF seems nice since it allows "two-way" communication between ruby and java. I'd love to hear your thoughts as I've been trying to make this work to allow using ruby in the m/r pipeline. For now, I don't need a fully general solution, I'd just like to call some ruby in my map or reduce tasks. Thanks! -lincoln -- lincolnritter.com
