Ok sounds good, I agree with all as well.
I think that I have a PR that I could ressurect for #3. I'd tried it just before a release, and then pulled it at the last minute. I think that it was relatively simple: https://github.com/apache/mahout/pull/129. I only pulled it because I did not have time to test is well enough.With some minor updates, this should take care of it. [https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/7681565?v=3&s=400]<https://github.com/apache/mahout/pull/129> MAHOUT-1706: remove dependency jars from /lib in the binary distribution by andrewpalumbo · Pull Request #129 · apache/mahout<https://github.com/apache/mahout/pull/129> github.com The mahout distribution currently is shipping ~56 MB of dependecy jars in the /lib directory of the distribution. These are only added to the classpath by /bin/mahout in the binary distribution. ... +1 to #5, which is covered by MAHOUT-1705, and needs to be reopened-. This will take a bit of work and I'm sure a good amount of testing. As far as MAHOUT_LOCAL goes, it is already already in the process of being phased out. It has been removed from all of the examples. Here's my +1 to dropping it all together. ________________________________ From: Suneel Marthi <suneel.mar...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 6, 2016 4:55:10 PM To: mahout Subject: Re: Mahout distro Size +1 to all of them. 2 and 3 are very trivial to do. Definitely consider doing #5.
