Hi,
I have been digging into Mahout on Hadoop for the pas few days. 
I was wondering the recommendation 
algorithm that is used in RecommenderJob.java. For example: 

bin/hadoop jar /opt/mahout/core/target/mahout-core-0.7-SNAPSHOT-job.jar 
org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob 
-Dmapred.input.dir=input/input.txt -Dmapred.output.dir=output 
--usersFile input/users.txt --booleanData

By executing this command, is either item-based or user-based 
recommendation algorithm being used?
And does specifying "--similarityClassname" in the command 
have anything to do with 
choosing item-based or user-based algorithm for the recommendation?


The help is appreciated in advance,
Rich
