I have been following hoping to hear more about getting mahout back to a
usable state. Perhaps we are following incorrect instructions but we have
tried multiple times over a bunch of different students to get mahout to
run and we get nothing but errors.
Students have been using spark now since we can't get mahout working but
there are some cases we want to use hadoop but not write map reduce code.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Sorry to email directly but I didn't think this was appropriate for the
whole group.
