Suneel Marthi commented on MAHOUT-1416:
---------------------------------------
Looking at this patch, wouldn't it suffice to change the access of the existing
{Code}
private static DecisionForest read(DataInput dataInput) throws IOException ;
{Code}
to make it "public" for what you are trying to achieve.
> Implement an interface to load a forest from an in-memory byte buffer

> There is a use case I encounter in which a random forest model is passed to
> remote server over a REST API and is used for scoring the incoming requests
> in there.
> In such a scenario it is highly inefficient to write the byte buffer received
> at the remote server on the filesystem and then use Mahout APIs to load the
> forest.
> We should be able to load the forest from the byte buffer received. This is
> useful in non-map-reduce usecases of classification like that mentioned above.
