The current apache-mahout-distribution-0.12.2.tar.gz<http://mirror.stjschools.org/public/apache/mahout/0.12.2/apache-mahout-distribution-0.12.2.tar.gz> is 224M. we need to look for ways to get this size down.
1. A few Possibilities: 2. Drop h2o (binary only) from Distro? (18M - unused) 3. MAHOUT-1865<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1865>: Remove Hadoop 1 support. could save us some space. 4. MAHOUT-1706<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1706>: Remove dependency jars from /lib in mahout binary distribution. Should also save space. 5. Having dropped support for MAHOUT_LOCAL we can now likely set a lot of dependencies to <provided> scope, we can revisit: MAHOUT-1705<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1705>: Verify dependencies in job jar for mahout-examples. * 16M ./lib/hadoop * 85M ./lib/ * Many of the jars in /lib/ and possibly /lib/hadoop are already packaged into the mahout-examples jar and adding them to the classpath from /lib/ is therefore redundant. As well many may be provided.
