Python UDF's In Hive

Hi all,

I have written a python udf and its working fine as expected in hive. But
had a doubt regarding how its getting called from the backend. so as i
understand the hive uses the udf as a mapper function. so for each row
processed does it create a python process? if thats the case wont it be an
over head to the cluster.
