                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-445
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Collaborative Filtering
            Reporter: Sebastian Schelter


At the beginning of the recommendation process, a recommender has to identify a 
set of "candidate items" which are items that could possibly be recommended to 
the user, the final result of the recommender's computation will  be a subset 
of those.

The current approach in AbstractRecommender.getAllOtherItems(...) turns out to 
be very slow if there is a high number of cooccurrences in the data (like in 
the grouplens 1M dataset for example). The aim of this patch is to make the way 
in which these candidate items are identified customizable.
