Sebastian Schelter commented on MAHOUT-445:
-------------------------------------------
Good points Sean,
I've added randomized sampling via the FixedSizeSamplingIterator and I've added
constructors taking the strategy object as a param to KnnItemBasedRecommender
and SVDRecommender.
> Customizable strategies for candidate item fetching

> 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.
