Till Rohrmann commented on MAHOUT-1570:
---------------------------------------
I really like to see Flink support for the Mahout DSL, too. I'm optimistic that
Flink in its current state has everything needed to fully support the Mahout
DSL. Some time ago, I started an implementation but due to other tasks I
haven't made much progress.
I know that the TU Berlin wants to hire a master student who is supposed to
take care of this implementation. But I don't know how long this will take.
> Adding support for Apache Flink as a backend for the Mahout DSL
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAHOUT-1570
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1570
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Sebastian Schelter
> Labels: DSL, flink, scala
>
> With the finalized abstraction of logical Mahout DSL plans from the backend
> operations (MAHOUT-1529), it should be possible to integrate further backends
> for the Mahout DSL.
> I like to evaluate to what extent this can already be done for Stratosphere
> and what can be done to solve possibly occuring problems.
> The biggest difference between Spark and Stratosphere at the moment is
> probably the incremental rollout of plans, which is triggered by Spark's
> actions and which is not supported by Stratosphere yet. However, the
> Stratosphere team is working on this issue. For the moment, it should be
> possible to circumvent this problem by writing intermediate results required
> by an action to HDFS and reading from there.
> Thus, this work shall rather be considered as a proof of concept than a
> strongly efficient implementation and has the purpose to evaluate where the
> logical plan abstraction might be refined in order to support different
> backends.
