Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-9082.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I'm going to close this as fixed. I don't think there is much to do here
really.
> Simplify scripting usages so that parallel platform-dependent scripts are
> simple to maintain
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-9082
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9082
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Matt Foley
>
> This issue was formerly titled "Select and document a platform-independent
> scripting language for use in Hadoop environment" and was discussed in the
> common-dev@ threads "[PROPOSAL] introduce Python as build-time and run-time
> dependency for Hadoop and throughout Hadoop stack" and "[VOTE] introduce
> Python as build-time and run-time dependency for Hadoop and throughout Hadoop
> stack".
> In that discussion the community consensus rejected the idea of using Python
> as a cross-platform scripting language.
> It is now proposed to follow up Allen's suggestions below about simplifying
> the use of scripts in Hadoop, bring more functionality into core code, and
> try to leave us with only trivial usages of scripting that can readily be
> maintained in as many platform-specific scripting languages as necessary.
