I think we should introduce a new parameter for the recommend() method in the Recommender interface that tells whether already known items should be recommended or not.

What do you think?

Best,

I’d suggest a command line option if you want to submit a patch. Most people 
will want that line executed so the default should be the current behavior. But 
a large minority will want it your way.

And please do submit a patch with the Jira, it will make your life easier when 
new releases come out you won’t have to manage a fork.

Juan, I don't understand your solution, if there are no ratings how can you
blend the recommendations from the system and the user's already read news.

Anyway, I think, as Pat does, the best way is to remove the mentioned line.
It should be the responsibility of the business logic to remove user's
items if needed.

I will also create a Jira issue as you suggested.

thanks

You are not the only one to see this so I'd recommend creating an option
for the Job, which will be checked before executing that line of code
then
submit it as a patch to the Jira you need to create in any case.

That way it might get into the mainline and you won't have to maintain a
fork.


Avoiding the cost of a fork over a trivial issue like this is a grand idea.
