----------------------------------
Assignee: Brian Johnson
> JRuby UDFs should have a more efficient implementation
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-4648
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4648
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Brian Johnson
> Assignee: Brian Johnson
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current jruby UDF implementation translates all the Java objects to ruby
> objects and back. This makes it very simple for ruby programmers, but it is
> very inefficient. I propose a second jruby implementation that passes through
> the Java objects to avoid this extra overhead. It should be able to re-use a
> lot of the existing code. The existing implementation is under
> org.apache.pig.scripting.jruby. I propose that the new implementation go
> under org.apache.pig.scripting.jruby.native and will be referenced with
> "using jruby-native". This is meant to reference "native" pig classes. I
> realize it could be confused with the Java native interface, but I couldn't
> think of a better name.
