Hi All, I have map-reduce version of SOM, but it's not yet in the form of K-means. Shall I go ahead and attach the patch, or should I work on getting it in line with K-means first and then send the patch.

In particular, it is likely that the k-means implementation that we currently have would provide a very good basis for build a SOM implementation. There is also a large scale SVD implementation in Mahout that would be useful for deriving initial conditions. SOM should have similar properties as k-means in terms of scaling and thus should be a good match to iterative map-reduce implementation. Would you like to try your hand on the problem?
