I use the CLI about half the time. For many applications, esp. well-baked clustering & seq2sparse, I use the CLI. Other times I need to use a Java API because I'm building a custom job in Java and it is just easier than doing the scripting.

My fear/hunch is that for many of you it's not so useful given ease of writing a quick java prog... How much of your Mahout work do you folk manage to do purely via bin/mahout? Dan
