Shannon Quinn commented on MAHOUT-1159:
---------------------------------------
Excellent points, thanks. Here's a new patch with the suggested fixes, let me
know if that works.
The only reason I noticed the discrepancy in the documentation is SSVD in
spectral k-means was originally tested in standalone mode, and obviously the
DistributedCache is not available in that case.

> Key: MAHOUT-1159
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1159
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Clustering
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: Shannon Quinn
> Assignee: Shannon Quinn
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8

> Attachments: MAHOUT-1159.patch, MAHOUT-1159-ssvdopts.patch

> This adds SSVD as an option for eigensolver, in addition to the [default]
> Lanczos solver. Testing indicated it yielded similar clustering accuracy with
> a possible performance boost.
> This patch includes other small fixes, such as using the default "tempDir"
> for intermediate calculations.
> The initialization of the SSVD solver is a bit awkward, with specifying the
> number of reducers. I hard-coded this at 10; is there a better solution?
> Perhaps making it an optional parameter to the SSVD constructor?
> [Thanks to University of Pittsburgh CS undergraduates Andrew King, Pawan
> Solanki, and Philip Schinis for working on this.]
