Question about dealing with UUIDs as Mahout user IDs. I'm considering ways to deal with these values:
1. use getLeastSignificantBits 2. re-map to a database auto-increment number (this would take very long time to do?) 3. customize mahout so that it accepts UUIDs as user IDs Any feedback here? If I went with #3 (seems the safest) how would I do this and, what are the consequences? The user count is in the millions. Thanks!
