MessagePack
MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you
exchange data among multiple languages like JSON but it's faster and
smaller. For example, small integers (like flags or error code) are
encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings only require an
extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.
If you ever wished to use JSON for convenience (storing an image with metadata) but could not for technical reasons (encoding, size, speed...), MessagePack is a perfect replacement.

TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for R
TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for R is a high-performance,
enterprise-quality statistical engine. It is embedded in the TIBCO
Spotfire platform to provide predictive analytic capabilities, and it is
available for integration into other applications through various APIs.
By developing in R, and then deploying on TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for
R, you can move rapidly from prototyping to production without recoding
and retesting your analyses. This efficiency helps you adapt quickly to
changing opportunities and threats and easily integrate predictive
analytics consistently across the organization.

Spring with Dropwizard
Thoughts on integration Spring with Dropwizard:
The basic approach is to create the Spring context in the Dropwizard service run method, then add the appropriate beans from the context to the Dropwizard environment. See the example by Jacek Furmankiewicz in his git project: dropwizard-spring-di-security-onejar-example.
Component Scan
Adding the @ComponentScan annotation to the configuration bean registered with the context (as in the above example) will enable component scanning in the same package or lower as the configuration bean.
Alternatively, if Camel routes will be used in the application, use an XML configuration file to initialize the Camel context and component scanning:
<context:component-scan base-package="com.example.beans"/>
<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
<contexScan/>
</camelContext>
This will allow routes declared in Java or Groovy files annotated with @Component to be added to the Camel context (be sure to extend SpringRouteBuilder), in addition to annotated classed being added to the Spring context.
Encrypting Properties
If there is a need to encrypt values in a property file, add the Jasypt EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to the Spring XML configuration file. Its properties can be injected in @Component-annotated classes with the @Value annotation using SpEL on the property or a setter:
@Value(value="${database.username}")
private String username;
Properties that do not require encryption should be injected from the Dropwizard service configuration, which must be registered with the Spring context to make it accessible to the other beans. Alternatively, encrypted properties could be provided by the Dropwizard configuration using the above @Value annotation and decrypted in the setter by an injected Jasypt StandardPBEEncryptor.
ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner may also be useful in this situation.
