/**
 * Describes how the execution of a UDF should be monitored, and what 
 * to do if it times out.
 * <p>
 * NOTE: does not work with UDFs that implement the Accumulator interface
 * <p>
 *     
 * Setting a default value will cause it to be used instead of null when the UDF times out.
 * The appropriate value among in, long, string, etc, is used.
 * The default fields of these annotations are arrays for Java reasons I won't bore you with.
 * <p>
 * Set them as if they were primitives: <code>@MonitoredUDF( intDefault=5 )</code>
 * <p>
 * There is currently no way to provide a default ByteArray, Tuple, Map, or Bag. Null will always be used for those.
 * <p>
 * Currently this annotation is ignored when the Accumulator interface is used.
