The thinking might be along the line: if you need to use Hadoop at all, you are probably already using Java anyway to maximize single machine performance.

- true_religion 15y agoWhy Java? Why not C? Personally, I've never looked to Java as a top performer. It's a middle language---not as expressive as Python, not as fast as C. Even compared to C#, I wouldn't naturally choose Java but I've been forced to because C# wasn't well supported away from a windows' box. Now adays, I just skip the Java step for CPU intensive work and go to straight C integrated with Python.
