Description

While Hive does SQL it would be very powerful to be able to embed that SQL in languages like python in such a way that the hive query is also able to invoke python functions seemlessly. One possibility is to explore integration with Dumbo. Another is to see if the internal map_reduce.py tool can be open sourced as a Hive contrib.
