Sebastian Schelter commented on MAHOUT-393:
-------------------------------------------
org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.similarity.item.ItemSimilarityTest.testCompleteJob()
explicitly tested for the number of users and it worked with your changes, so
it's good as it is it seems
> Distributed item similarity functions

>
> To complete the work started in MAHOUT-389, I've created a distributed
> version of any item similarity function that is currently already available
> in a non-distributed manner. An additional M/R job was necessary to compute
> the number of all users which is needed by some similarity functions (like
> LogLikelihoodSimilarity for example).
> There is still some optimization potential in the code as not every
> similarity function needs all information that is currently extracted (like
> the number of users e.g.), but the optimization would have made the code much
> less readable so I did not do any work on that.
> I hope you consider this a useful addition.
