I've added the Kryo registrator configs to my SparkConf and get the same 
results. I am very new to Mahout so I was not aware of the requirement for 
those.

I did have some unused imports in there if that is what you meant by the 
"distributed context" comment. I've pushed a couple of updates to add the 
configs you mentioned, and remove the unused imports.

Keep in mind that the program I linked to has the sole purpose of reproducing 
the exception I'm experiencing. I am not using int.max in my actual driver 
program, I am using just the defaults of 50 and 500. I only put those into this 
program to make it easier to reproduce the exception. The reproduction program 
is as stripped down and simple as possible while still producting the exception 
to attempt to aid in troubleshooting this thing. Is there some documentation 
somewhere on the recommended minimum sizes for those parameters given the size 
of a dataset? I'm sure that question is dataset specific, but some general 
guidelines could be helpful if they exist somewhere so that I'm not burning CPU 
for no reasonable difference in accuracy.

Given your suggestions, I am still getting the same exception. Everything for 
the spark instance on my cloudera cluster is the default. Would it still be 
helpful to see a dump of information from somewhere? The 'Environment' tab from 
the job's web interface? I typically try to let everything run with defaults, 
until I need to make/test something more specific. I guess it's how I learn to 
use the software. I am running this command to submit the job:

spark-submit --class com.travishegner.RowSimTest.RowSimTest 
RowSimTest-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

The only difference in the calling command for my real driver program is a 
"--jars" option to distribute a dependency.

Thanks again for the help!

Travis

You aren’t setting up the Mahout Kryo registrator. Without this I’m surprised 
it runs at all. Make sure the Spark settings use these values:

"spark.serializer": "org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer",
"spark.kryo.registrator": 
"org.apache.mahout.sparkbindings.io.MahoutKryoRegistrator",
"spark.kryo.referenceTracking": "false",
"spark.kryoserializer.buffer.mb": "300",
"spark.executor.memory": “4g” // or something larger than default

Not sure if the distributed context is needed too, maybe Dmitriy knows more.

BTW I wouldn’t use Int.max. The calculation will approach O(n^2) with virtually 
no effective gain in accuracy and my even cause problems.

If none of this helps I can set up yarn on my dev machine, can you give me the 
spark-submit CLI and all Spark settings?

So, I've yet to be able to reproduce this with "--master local" or "--master 
local[8]", it has only occurred on my cloudera/spark/yarn cluster with both 
"--master yarn-client" and "--master yarn-cluster". I don't have a spark 
standalone cluster to test against.

I have put up a test program on my github account which contains hard coded 
test data: https://github.com/travishegner/RowSimTest. My pom.xml is including 
the mahout libraries into my final jar via shade in order to test against my 
own version of mahout (actually your's right now Pat!), rather than the one 
built into the cluster.

With this dataset the exception is sporadic (50% maybe) with the default params 
for "maxInterestingSimilaritiesPerRow" and "maxObservationsPerRow", but when I 
pass Int.MaxValue for each of those it seems to occur more regularly, but still 
succeeds at times. Sometimes, my driver program will throw the exception, but 
retry the failed task and continue on to complete the program successfully, 
other times it will completely fail after too many retries. I can literally run 
the same jar back-to-back without recompiling and get different results. I also 
ruled out a hardware issue by decommisioning the Yarn NodeManager service on 
all but one of my nodes to isolate it to a single node. I did that again on a 
separate node with similar results. The frequency of the exception is directly 
related to the size of the dataset. The smaller I make the dataset, the more 
often it succeeds, and I have yet to get a successful execution with a large 
enough subset of my full dataset.

Interestingly enough, if I map the IDS into flipped values (<tag>, <doc_id>) 
and run it through the cooccurrencesIDSs() method, it never fails (see the 
commented code block). If I run the reverse mapping  through 
rowSimilarityIDS(), it still fails in the same way.

Can you recommend any other troubleshooting steps to try? Is there any more 
information that I can provide?

Thanks,

Travis

I tried a couple datasets this weekend and could not get the error to 
reproduce. Could you share some data or the code that creates the 
IndexedDataset?

I wonder whether the IndexedDataset is created correctly, it will construct 
from rdd and two BiDictionaries but that doesn’t mean they have correctly 
formatted values. It needs a Mahout DRM in the rdd, which means int keys and 
vector values with two BiDictionaries for key <-> string mappings for column 
and row. Also the int keys need to be contiguous ints 0..n

May indeed be a bug I’ll look at is asap, since it passes the scala tests, any 
data you can spare might help but if you are doing a lot of prep, maybe that’s 
not so easy?

I am actually not using the CLI, I am using the API directly. Also, I am

cooccurrencesIDSs(Array(IDS)) on an IDS that was generated from an RDD of 
(<tag>, <doc_id>).

My string tags do have some special characters, so I have been simply hashing 
them into an md5 string as a precaution since it shouldn't change the final 
result. I will try and scan the data for any nulls or other oddities. If I 
can't find anything obvious, then I'll try to pair it down to a small enough 
sample that is still affected in order to share.

Are there any normalizing rules that I should be aware of? For example, all the 
doc_id's must be the same length string?

Thanks,

Ok. Don’t suppose you could share your data or at least a snippet? Some odd 
errors can creep in if there is invalid data, like a null doc id or tag. Very 
little data validation is done, which is something I need to address. I’ll it 
try on some sample data I have.

BTW you understand that rowSimilarity input is a doc-id, list-of-tags where by 
default tab separates doc-id from the list and a space separates items in the 
list. Separators can be changed in the code but not the CLI.

Thanks Pat,

With a clean version of your spark-1.3 branch I continue to get the error. You 
can find the stack trace at the end of the message. As I mentioned in my 
original message, I've narrowed it down to (k21 < 0), however, I'm not entirely 
certain it's based on the data condition I described, as I set up a test case 
with a small amount of data exhibiting the same condition described, and it 
works OK.

How is it possible that "numInteractionsWithB=0" while 
"numInteractionsWithAandB=1"? I would think that the latter would always have 
to be less than or equal the former.

Thanks!

I am using Mahout every day on Spark 1.3.1.

Try https://github.com/pferrel/mahout/tree/spark-1.3, which is the one I’m 
using. Let me know if you still have the problem and include the stack trace. 
I’ve been using cooccurrence, which is closely related to rowSimilarity.

cooccurrence calculates llr(A’A), and rowSimilarity is doing llr(AA’). The 
input you are talking about is A’ so you would be doing llr((A’)’(A’)) and so 
should produce the same results but let’s get it working. I’ll look at it 
either tomorrow or this weekend. If you have any stack trace using the above 
branch, let me know.

BTW what Dmitriy said is correct, IntelliJ is often not able to determine every 
decoration function available.

Subject: RowSimilarity API -- illegal argument exception from 
org.apache.mahout.math.stats.LogLikelihood.logLikelihoodRatio()

Hello list,

I am having some trouble getting a SimilarityAnalysis.rowSimilarityIDS() job to 
run. First some info on my environment:

I'm running hadoop with cloudera 5.4.2 with their built in spark on yarn setup 
it's pretty much an OOTB setup, but it has been upgraded many times since 
probably CDH4.8 or so. It's running spark 1.3.0 (perhaps some 1.3.1 commits 
merged in from what I've read about cloudera's versioning). I have my own fork 
of mahout which is currently just a mirror of 'github.com:pferrel/spark-1.3'. 
I'm very comfortable making changes, compiling, and using my version of the 
library should your suggestions lead me in that direction. I am still pretty 
new to scala, so I have a hard time wrapping my head around what some of the 
syntactic sugars actually do, but I'm getting there.

I'm successfully getting my data transformed to an RDD that essentially looks 
like (<document_id>, <tag>), creating an IndexedDataSet with that, and feeding 
that into SimilarityAnalysis.rowSimilarityIDS(). I've been able to narrow the 
issue down to a specific case:

Let's say I have the following records (among others) in my RDD:

...
(doc1, tag1)
(doc2, tag1)
...

doc1, and doc2 have no other tags, but tag1 may exist on many other documents. 
The rest of my dataset has many other doc/tag combinations, but I've narrowed 
down the issue to seemingly only occur in this case. I've been able to trace 
down that the java.lang.IllegalArgumentException is occuring because k21 is < 0 
(i.e. "numInteractionsWithB = 0" and "numInteractionsWithAandB = 1") when 
calling LogLikelihood.logLikelihoodRatio() from 
SimilarityAnalysis.logLikelihoodRatio().

Speculating a bit, I see that in SimilarityAnalysys.rowSimilarity() on the line 
(163 in my branch):

val bcastInteractionsPerItemA = drmBroadcast(drmA.numNonZeroElementsPerRow)

...my IDE (intellij) complains that it cannot resolve 
"drmA.numNonZeroElementsPerRow", however the library compiles successfully. 
Tracing the codepath shows that if that value is not being correctly populated, 
it would have a direct impact on the values used in logLikelihoodRatio(). That 
said, it seems to only fail in this very particular case.

I should note that I can run SimilarityAnalysis.cooccurrencesIDSs() 
successfully with a single list of (<user_id>, <item_id>) pairs of my own data.

I have 3 questions given this scenario:

First, am I using the proper branch of code for attempting to run on a spark 
1.3 cluster? I've read about a "joint effort" for spark 1.3, and this was the 
only branch I could find for it.

Second, Is anyone able to shed some light on the above error? Is drmA not a 
correct type, or does that method no longer apply to that type?

Third, what would be the mathematical implications if I run 
SimilarityAnalysis.cooccurrencesIDSs() with a list of (<tag>,<document_id>) 
pairs. Would the results be sound, or does that make absolutely no sense? Would 
it be beneficial even as only a troubleshooting step?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide!
