I need to develop a very thin shim for hadoop to be used together with Rails/Sinatra application. I’m a .Net developer and have a lot experience with Ruby. So what is the best framework to choose giving the fact it is needed for a very small project and it should provide RESTful web services.
I looked at Grails and it seems to be very robust and Rails alike solution. Should I look at Spring? Or it will be an overkill for my use case?
I really like the Play! Framework. It’s a java RESTful framework that is very easy to develop in.

The most notable of it’s features, IMO, is that you don’t have to restart the server every time you make a code change – which makes development run much more smoothly.
