Hi Stephen,
It looks to me like you are on the right track. The original kMeans
code and job patterns were written over a year ago, probably on a
version of Hadoop 10 or 11 IIRC. They have made significant changes
to the file system in the interim and nobody - except you - has
tried to run kMeans on EMR.
A man, alone... This would make a good movie!
It certainly seems like dfs.exists(outPath) should be false if you
have no outPath. You have a sharp machete and are making good
progress breaking a jungle trail to EMR.
I'll see if I can get the s3n thing working locally and then return to
spend a few more dimes at Amazon. Once I figure it out, I'll add an
issue to Jira and see if I can work up a patch for mahout-dev.
If you'd like to chat on the phone or Skype, please contact me
directly (jeff at windwardsolutions dot com).
Thanks!
Steve
