Wondering how Hadoop running with python and other languages. Java is
easy to develop, however, not very efficient to handle numerical
computation with objects like sparse matrices. Maybe hadoop will have
Matlab, R extensions as well? Hope to see it happens.

I always have this question but couldn't find proper answer for this. For
system level applications, c/c++ is preferable. But why this one using
java?
Look at the system (software) requirements for running Hadoop:

Imagine how it would be, if it were to be written in C/C++.
While C/C++ might give you a performance improvement at run-time, it can be
a total nightmare to develop and maintain. Especially if the network gets to
be heterogeneous.
