This isn't completely accurate. There's nothing to stop you from
writing a module that reads in a key, compiles the payload as code,
and calls a function within the newly compiled module. Similarly, you
can set up the nodes to point to an external library path and run the
modules from there.
As far as running map/reduce jobs from erlang, yes, there is an erlang
API for that using the riak erlang client. You can see from the source
that all of these operations are available:
-export([start_link/2, start_link/3,
start/2, start/3,
stop/1,
... snip ...
mapred/3, mapred/4, mapred/5,
mapred_stream/4, mapred_stream/5, mapred_stream/6,
mapred_bucket/3, mapred_bucket/4, mapred_bucket/5,
mapred_bucket_stream/5, mapred_bucket_stream/6,
