Hi John I understand why you're bringing this up, but it's a huge project on it's own, worth at least a couple months worth of work. Without a dedicated effort from someone I'm worried it would not go anywhere. It's kind of separated from the other goals of the summit On Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 8:16 PM, John Camara <john.m.camara@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Nathaniel,
I would like to suggest one more topic for the workshop. I see a big need for a library (jffi) similar to cffi but that provides a bridge to Java instead of C code. The ability to seamlessly work with native Java data/code would offer a huge improvement when python code needs to work with the Spark/Hadoop ecosystem. The current mechanisms which involve serializing data to/from Java can kill performance for some applications and can render Python unsuitable for these cases.
