Writing Remote Task/Scripting for non Java

rafaelcba Nov 14, 2017 11:06 AM

Does ISPN offer support for Remote Tasks written in another language (eg. Python)?

Given you have many "routines" written in Python performing business logic on traditional RDBMS (slow) and want to move that data to ISNP cluster...

I know there is Python support on HotRod to access data on ISPN, but what about submitting non Java tasks to execute near data on a remote ISPN?

What is the suggested approach is such scenario?

There are a few ways around this:
add Jython to the server so that the Java scripting engine picks it up. At that point you can store/execute scripts in the same way as is currently possible for Javascript/Nashorn
Implement a Java Task that uses Process (Java Platform SE 8 ) to fork your Python process and pipe through stdin/stdout
Implement a Java Task that wraps your Python process using JNI. This is probably the toughest.

Thanks nadirx!

The first option seems to be easier/simple :-)
