Aleksei Udatšnõi commented on MAHOUT-977: ----------------------------------------- Answering your question .. I kept the superclass only for backward compatibility purposes. I doubt anyone is using it in production. Just in case it is used somewhere in experimental environment, it will keep working. If you find it is not useful any more, I can eliminate it. > Thread-safe version of PlusAnonymousUserDataModel with multiple concurrent > users > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-977 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-977 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Collaborative Filtering > Affects Versions: 0.6 > Reporter: Aleksei Udatšnõi > Assignee: Sean Owen > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.7 > > Attachments: MAHOUT-977.patch > > > This is a suggested improvement to PlusAnonymousUserDataModel. > Currently the ID of the anonymous user is fixed to Long.MIN_VALUE. Only one > set > of temp data can be inserted into the model and used at one time. > I propose the change to enable multiple users to insert into this > model concurrently in a thread-safe manner. > The idea is to define a pool of available anonymous user IDs. Every > time a new anonymous user makes a request, the next available > TEMP_USER_ID is pulled from the queue. After recommendations are > retrieved, the TEMP_USER_ID can be returned to the pool. > The discussion about this topic can be found in: > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/mahout-dev/201202.mbox/%3CCAEccTywC7QJuAJj-u3C1C=WW0yEeBcScUE6Kmj=bedbrxop...@mail.gmail.com%3E -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
