/**
 * The generic Invoker class does all the common grunt work of setting up an invoker.
 * Class-specific non-generic extensions of this class are needed for Pig to know what type
 * of return to expect from exec, and to find the appropriate classes through reflection.
 * All they have to do is implement the constructors that call into super(). Note that the 
 * no-parameter constructor is <b>required</b>, if seemingly nonsensical, for Pig to do its work.
 * <p>
 * The Invoker family of udfs understand the following class names (all case-independent):
 * <li>String
 * <li>Long
 * <li>Float
 * <li>Double
 * <li>Int
 * <p>
 * Invokers can also work with array arguments, represented in Pig as DataBags of single-tuple
 * elements. Simply refer to <code>string[]</code>, for example.
 * <p>
 * This UDF allows one to dynamically invoke Java methods that return a <code>T</code>
 * <p>
 * Usage of the Invoker family of UDFs (adjust as appropriate):
 * <p>
 *<pre>
 * {@code
 * -- invoking a static method
 * DEFINE StringToLong InvokeForLong('java.lang.Long.valueOf', 'String')
 * longs = FOREACH strings GENERATE StringToLong(some_chararray);
 *
 * -- invoking a method on an object
 * DEFINE StringConcat InvokeForString('java.lang.String.concat', 'String String', 'false')
 * concatenations = FOREACH strings GENERATE StringConcat(str1, str2); 
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * The first argument to the constructor is the full path to desired method.<br>
 * The second argument is a list of classes of the method parameters.<br>
 * If the method is not static, the first element in this list is the object to invoke the method on.<br>
 * The second argument is optional (a no-argument static method is assumed if it is not supplied).<br>
 * The third argument is the keyword "static" (or "true") to signify that the method is static. <br>
 * The third argument is optional, and true by default.<br>
 * <p>
 * @param <T>
