Hadoop Papyrus is an open source project that allows Hadoop jobs to be run using a Ruby DSL instead of Java. It reduces complex Hadoop procedures to just a few lines of Ruby code. The DSL describes the Map, Reduce, and Job details. Hadoop Papyrus invokes Ruby scripts using JRuby during the Map/Reduce processes running on the Java-based Hadoop framework. It also allows writing a single DSL script to define different processing for each phase like Map, Reduce, or job initialization.
