Hi Jeff,

I am working on it, yes; I've been experimenting with both the Hadoop commit (unofficial release) that upgrades the CompositeInputFormat to 0.20.2, in addition to other ways around it to avoid the problem entirely (such as an adaptation of what I did in my GSoC project); however, in the last week I've had to put that on hold as my PhD work has really picked up :P

I was going to get back to this over the weekend, so feel free to work on it as you'd like and I'll just merge whatever you do into what I have (I've gotten pretty good at it, considering how often EigenVerificationJob gets changed :P).

 Hi Shannon,

Are you working on the DRM 20.2 upgrade? I don't want to step on work you may have in mid-flight but I would like to do some stuff there myself.

This was precisely the issue I ran into toward the end of my GSoC project; there's a commit from one or two months ago to the Hadoop mapreduce package that has a 0.20.2-compatible CompositeInputFormat, but it's not in the official release - in my case, I wrote a small workaround that should last until the next release, but it's not suitable for the DistributedRowMatrix...so I'm working on something else :) Suggestions are certainly welcome in the meantime!

CompositeInputFormat needs to be ported or an alternative developed using the 20.2 API. Perhaps a good sub-project?

+1 for attempting this, but beware: DistributedRowMatrix uses map-side
joins, and I'm not sure those are supported in the 0.20+ API. In fact, I have specifically ran into problems because of this when I tried it in the
past.

Now, some methods can just well, get slower by doing two-pass approaches (reduce-side join plus a second pass) to one-pass solveable problems, but a second pass over the data is a pretty bitter pill to swallow. Finding a way
to do a map-side join in 0.20 would be nicer, if possible.

Shannon, let me know if you run into problems.

Apologies for missing this; I was actually very interested in doing the DRM porting to 20.2, considering how much my GSoC project relies on it.

Unless someone has already volunteered...in which case I'd love to help :)

Apologies for the brevity, this was sent from my iPhone

I'd like to see it ported, so RowSimilarityJob can become a method of
DistributedRowMatrix.

Is anybody working on this? Has anybody else looked at it? It seems
to have a few unported dependencies like some of the classifiers.
