             Summary: Add SSVD option to SpectralKMeans
                 Key: MAHOUT-1159
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1159
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Clustering
    Affects Versions: 0.8
            Reporter: Shannon Quinn
            Assignee: Shannon Quinn
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.8


This adds SSVD as an option for eigensolver, in addition to the [default] 
Lanczos solver. Testing indicated it yielded similar clustering accuracy with a 
possible performance boost.

This patch includes other small fixes, such as using the default "tempDir" for 
intermediate calculations.

The initialization of the SSVD solver is a bit awkward, with specifying the 
number of reducers. I hard-coded this at 10; is there a better solution? 
Perhaps making it an optional parameter to the SSVD constructor?

[Thanks to University of Pittsburgh CS undergraduates Andrew King, Pawan 
Solanki, and Philip Schinis for working on this.]
