Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-588:
----------------------------------------

Hi Tim,

For the shell script, can we parameterize that a bit more?  As in pass in the 
prep dir and output dir?

Also, s3cmd is GPL, so we can't include it, but we should at least document 
that it is required for this script to work.  Perhaps we could use s3-curl 
which is BSD and does the same thing and could be bundled in?

Thanks,
Grant

> 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.
