To supplement Jeff's comments:

Big Data:

To deploy models:

Opinion: Executables are a security risk. I wouldn't touch one unless
from a trusted source. I think I understand what you want to do, but I
would second Jeff's comment about using R packages. Don't bother to
disagree with me -- just dismiss if you do-- as this is wandering O/T
anyway.
