> Why not use jruby? Indeed! I'm basically working from the JRuby wiki page on Java integration (http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/Java_Integration). I'm taking this one step at a time and, while I would love tighter integration, the recommended way is through the scripting frameworks.
Right now, I most interested in taking some baby steps before going more general. I welcome any and all feedback/suggestions. Especially if you have tried this. I will post any results if there is interest, but mostly I am trying to accomplish a pretty small task and am not yet thinking about a more general solution. -lincoln -- lincolnritter.com On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 1:58 PM, Andreas Kostyrka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thursday 24 July 2008 21:40:20 Lincoln Ritter wrote: >> Hello all. >> >> Has anybody ever tried/considered using the Bean Scripting Framework >> within Hadoop?
