Sebastian Schelter commented on MAHOUT-432:
-------------------------------------------

I can see the use of having this for example when your application domain is 
ecommerce where products might be out of stock for some days and you don't want 
to recommend them then. A possible (but not ideal) solution could be to just 
compute double as much recommended items as you need and then filter out the 
ones that are not available afterwards, would that work for you, Hui?

> Can add one parameter --itemsFile for 
> org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob ?
> --itemsFile some likes the the --usersFile.
> in some case, we want to calculate similarity using all preferences data ,
> but some item in  preferences  are old ,not available,behind the times or 
> retired ,
> we want that those data can not recommend to users, can only recommend user 
> with new or valid items.
> so we can add on paramete  --itemsFile for RecommenderJob, itemsFile includes 
> all the new valid items.
