Szymon Chojnacki commented on MAHOUT-588:
-----------------------------------------

Finally I managed to go through all steps (until ClusterDisplay) with the local 
development environment. In order to avoid OutOfMemory I changed 
/conf/mapred-site.xml and added:

<parameter>
<name>mapred.child.java.opts</name>
<value>-Xmx5000M </value>
</parameter>

It enabled to go reach the end of the processing, but there were a few 600s 
timeout problems and a few jobs were killed. In order to avoid this, I also had 
to add

<parameter>
<name>mapred.task.timeout</name>
<value>0</value>
</parameter>

I'll describe in detail all the steps (might be useful for EC2) and switch to 
process in the AWS. I'll also try to figure out the minimum requirements for 
-Xmx.

> For Taming Text, I've commissioned some benchmarking work on Mahout's 
> clustering algorithms.  I've asked the two doing the project to do all the 
> work in the open here.  The goal is to use a publicly reusable dataset (for 
> now, the ASF mail archives, assuming it is big enough) and run on EC2 and 
> make all resources available so others can reproduce/improve.
> I'd like to add the setup code to utils (although it could possibly be done 
> as a Vectorizer) and the publication of the results will be put up on the 
> Wiki as well as in the book.  This issue is to track the patches, etc.
