Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-9082. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed I'm going to close this as fixed. I don't think there is much to do here really. > Simplify scripting usages so that parallel platform-dependent scripts are > simple to maintain > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9082 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9082 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Matt Foley > > This issue was formerly titled "Select and document a platform-independent > scripting language for use in Hadoop environment" and was discussed in the > common-dev@ threads "[PROPOSAL] introduce Python as build-time and run-time > dependency for Hadoop and throughout Hadoop stack" and "[VOTE] introduce > Python as build-time and run-time dependency for Hadoop and throughout Hadoop > stack". > In that discussion the community consensus rejected the idea of using Python > as a cross-platform scripting language. > It is now proposed to follow up Allen's suggestions below about simplifying > the use of scripts in Hadoop, bring more functionality into core code, and > try to leave us with only trivial usages of scripting that can readily be > maintained in as many platform-specific scripting languages as necessary. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
