Mahout examples try to write to examples/bin/work, which may not be writeable
by current user
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAHOUT-811
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-811
Project: Mahout
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Examples
Affects Versions: 0.5
Reporter: Andrew Bayer
Attachments: MAHOUT-811.diff.txt
The examples in examples/bin create subdirectories (either work or mahout-work)
in that directory and write to those subdirectories. This works fine if the
current user has write access to examples/bin, but if not (such as in the case
of the package generated by Bigtop, in which the files are installed to
/usr/lib/mahout and owned by root), the examples can't run. This is causing
BIGTOP-96, but needs to be fixed in Mahout. The patch I'm attaching changes all
the references to work, examples/bin/work, and mahout-work to instead use
/tmp/mahout-work-${USER}, which will be writeable.
