Having you guys work together is entirely in keeping and compatible with both the open source ideas and google summer of code ideas. So, Daniel, don't imagine that this idea is taken. Your suggestions and code (parallel or sequential) are highly valued. 2009/4/2 Yifan Wang heavens...@gmail.com

David, You are right that this is veering a little bit away from Mahout's central focus. We will have to beg a bit of forgiveness on that. I have a question for you and some hints about useful directions. First, is is possible for Scala to move the byte code or other representation of a

Groovy closures are just objects as well, but they can't easily be serialized because they can capture references to other objects which are unlikely to exist on the far machine. Can you say more about the compiler plugin? Or provide a pointer? Also, in your example here, how would you deal

This sounds fantastic. I think that your scala code is interesting, but your thoughts on LDA are much more so. I tried doing a similar simplification of map-reduce program writing using groovy and found that in spite of even smaller programs than you quote for word-count, that the benefits in
