Well, I just setup up CDH4 with Mahout for testing a few days ago. It still required some fixing of the pom file to build mahout (provided from cloudera) and some of the tests failed (the only one I remember had something to do with ALS). Nevertheless, I just tried it and didn't really test it. CDH4 still comes in two flavors, which should be taken into account. One keeps using the "old" 0.2x version of Hadoop and the other one uses the alpha 2.xx versions.

CDH3 has 0.5 + patches, CDH4 has 0.7 + patches.

I suppose the good news there is that recent versions must work OK
with Hadoop 2.x, since CDH4 = Hadoop 2. (I didn't suspect otherwise.)

Thanks Sebastian & Sean. I know Cloudera and other distributions until lately supported only Mahout 0.5 which made me suspect. I will go and use Mahout 0.8 (assuming it should be officially released any day now, right?)

I guess the Cloudera folks should do an upgrade, 0.5 is really an
ancient release.

We have two or three issues left for 0.8, then we'll have a code freeze
and do testing before we release 0.8.

Subject: Re: Mahout compatibility with Hadoop

Is it compatible with any Hadoop release? of course, would it make sense if not? I'm not sure where you get this idea. 0.5 was, I think, compiled vs 0.20.x. The last release was vs 1.0.3 or so. The current release is vs 1.1.x. In all cases these are the latest stable Apache releases, so not sure what you are referring to.

Hi,
From what I saw so far it seem that only Mahout 0.5 (the Hadoop part) is compatible with Hadoop latest releases, and that later Mahout releases are not officially supported. I wonder if anyone know if Mahout 0.7\0.6 is compatible with any Hadoop release?

Thanks,
Oren
