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

Woody,
I submitted my attempt at generic Java invocation in PIG-1354. Would appreciate feedback. It's fairly limited (only works for methods that return one of classes that has a Pig equivalent, and takes parameters of the same), but I've already found it quite useful, even in the limited state. Had to break out a separate class for each return type, Pig was giving me trouble otherwise.

> 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.
