Bala Rajagopal commented on MAHOUT-609: --------------------------------------- Yes, the current patch works only for the recommendeditembased task. Looking at the ticket description, I assumed that the RecommenderJob in context is the org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob (recommendeditembased task) and not the als.RecommenderJob. We had a requirement that met the ticket description, hence we made the changes and submitted it as a patch. I would assume that a new ticket will be created (in the future) when there is a need to extend this functionality to the recommendfactorized task. > Add an option to make RecommenderJob write out it's computed item similarities > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAHOUT-609 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-609 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Collaborative Filtering > Affects Versions: Backlog > Reporter: Sebastian Schelter > Assignee: Raphael Cendrillon > Labels: patch > Fix For: Backlog > > Attachments: MAHOUT-609.patch > > > As RecommenderJob already includes the computation of similar items, we > should an add option that makes it write out those similar items in the same > format as ItemSimilarityJob does, so that users interested in both > recommendations and similar items do not have to run two jobs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
