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

@Nicolas: Are you still planning to do this?
Personally I like jRuby, because it provides a simple scripting language and also access to the Java libraries.
Maybe a subtask is to figure out how to integrate these into the test suite.

> This JIRA is to start discussion around adding some sort of 'util' folder to HBase for common operational scripts.  We're starting to write a lot of HBase analysis utilities that we'd love to share with open source, but don't want to clutter the 'bin' folder, which seems like it should be reserved for start/stop tasks.  If we add a 'util' folder, how do we keep it from becoming a cesspool of half-baked & duplicated operational hacks.
