Sean Owen resolved MAHOUT-811.
------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 0.6
Assignee: Sean Owen
Sounds great to me, thanks. At the least this centralizes the definition of
'work' dir, and I see no reason it can't live in temp. In fact it sounds like
it should.
> Mahout examples try to write to examples/bin/work, which may not be writeable

> 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.
