stack commented on HBASE-2396:
------------------------------

Talking in the hallway later, thought was that we'd pass two Strings -- the 
name of the interpreter and the String we want to run.  The first cut at a 
coprocessor would use java scripting -- 
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/scripting/programmer_guide/index.html
 -- and do something like this:

{code}
        ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
        // evaluate JavaScript code from String
        engine.eval("print('Hello, World')");
{code}

Yeah, I suppose we'd return a Result?  Maybe we should return a String?  JSON 
String?

> There are a lot of use cases where users want to perform some simple 
> operations on the region server. For example, a row may represent a Set and 
> users want append/search/remove style operations within the row without 
> having to perform the work on the client side. One possible solution is to 
> embed a small language something like PL/SQL (not necessarily in syntax) 
> which restricts users to a safe set of operations.
