Hi Saikat,
1) I think that Mahout-1248 and 1249 are still very important features
that I would love to see in the codebase as they would highly improve
the usability of our ALS code.
2) I think the last discussion item regarding h2o was to find a way to
compare it against existing or spark related algorithm implementation to
get a better picture of programming model and performance. I also don't
feel that a final decision has been reached about this.
3) We should have the hangout, can someone step up and organize it?
Best,
Sebastian

Hi Guys,
I read through the email threads with the weigh ins for the inclusion of H2O as
well as spark and wanted to circle back on the plan for folks to meet around
1.0, so a few questions:
1) How does the inclusion of H2O and spark weigh in importance versus the
current JIRA items that are existing for potentially new feature work to be
done in mahout (in my case JIRA 1248/1249)
2) From reading all the responses it doesn't seem like there's full consensus
on what the next steps are for h2o and how that relates to the roadmap around
1.0, please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, can someone outline whether any
concrete decisions have been made on whether or not mahout 1.0 will include h2o
bindings
3) Are we moving forward with the google hangout , I didnt receive anything
about this yet
Thanks in advance.
