             Summary: GSOC 2013: Reform and simplify the clustering APIs
                 Key: MAHOUT-1177
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1177
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Dan Filimon


Clustering is one of the most used features in Mahout and has many applications 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis#Applications].

We have of lots clustering algorithms. There's:
- basic k-means
- canopy clustering
- Dirichlet clustering
- Fuzzy k-means
- Spectral k-means
- Streaming k-means [coming soon]

We want to make them easier to use by updating the APIs and make sure they all 
work in the same way have consistent inputs, outputs, diagnostics and 
documentation.

This is a great way to gain an in-depth understanding of clustering algorithms, 
familiarize yourself with Hadoop, Mahout clustering and good software 
engineering principles.
