--------------------------------------

@Woody

I agree frameworks will not be performant. I think there usefulness depends on 
what we want to achieve? If we want to support many different languages, then 
they might prove useful, if we are only interested in supporting a language or 
two (seems Python and Ruby are most popular ones) then it won't make sense to 
pay the overhead associated with them.

> It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python, 
> ruby, etc.  This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar, 
> etc.  It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over 
> Java.
