Yes, that was my point. below It may, in fact, be impossible to implement and commit them independently since so much of Mahout clustering depends upon the Cluster sequenceFile. You may be able to get part way by moving the Canopy mods into the kmeans issue, but then the cluster dumper and evaluator will not work with kmeans.

Ideas?

Thanks Jeff. One question, are "Use ClusterIterator" tasks dependent on "Modify Canopy etc to use ClusterWritable" task ? I am assuming that all subtasks in MAHOUT-933 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-933> are independent of each other and the order to pick them does not matter. Am I correct?

Sure Paritosh, go ahead and take a crack at it. I am moving from CO to PA for the next few weeks and won't be able to do much coding during that period. I suspect you will also need to modify Canopy to emit ClusterWritable and also the RandomSeedGenerator.

Smooth sailing,
Jeff

----------------------------------------

Jeff, I would like to work on this issue (or MAHOUT-989, or MAHOUT-990). Can I? I might also need some help ( at least the first patch review ).


Convert K-means buildClusters to use new ClusterIterator
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAHOUT-988
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-988
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Clustering
    Affects Versions: 0.6
            Reporter: Jeff Eastman
            Assignee: Jeff Eastman
             Fix For: 0.7


Refactor the current K-means implementation to use the ClusterIterator/Classifier implementation. This will replace the mapper, combiner, reducer, clusterer and many unit tests but will not modify the other driver APIs, thus retaining compatibility with existing CLI.
