ASF GitHub Bot commented on MAHOUT-1894: ---------------------------------------- Github user rawkintrevo commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/mahout/pull/271 @skanjila yes. In short- SparkML has a few non-extensible algorithms with limited functionality. Mahout lets your write your own algorithms, but at the moment there are some amazing tools to help you do that (distributed svd) but not many pre baked algorithms (you still need to go back to sparkML for Random Forrests, etc). With the new algorithms framework, I hope to see Mahout catch up and exceed SparkML's pre-canned algorithm collection in short order, driven primarily by community involvement. > Add support for Spark 2x backend > -------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-1894 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1894 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Task > Components: spark > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Suneel Marthi > Assignee: Trevor Grant > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.0.0, 0.13.0, 0.14.0 > > > add support for Spark 2.x as backend execution engine. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
