Sorry you are sick. Thanks for the tip. Spark has a client launcher method 
"spark-class …Client launch ..." but I’m not having much success with that.

As to the statement "There is not, nor do i think there will be a way to run 
this stuff with CLI” seems unduly misleading. Really, does anyone second this?

There will be Scala scripts to drive this stuff and yes even from the CLI. Do 
you imagine that every Mahout USER will be a Scala + Mahout DSL programmer? 
That may be fine for commiters but users will be PHP devs, Ruby devs, Python or 
Java devs maybe even a few C# devs. I think you are confusing Mahout DEVS with 
USERS. Few users are R devs moving into production work, they are production 
engineers moving into ML who want a blackbox. They will need a language 
agnostic way to drive Mahout. Making statements like this only confuse 
potential users and drive them away to no purpose. I’m happy for the nascent 
Mahout-Scala shell, but it’s not in the typical user’s world view.

Sorry, end-of-rant.

------------------------------------------

[My] Silence idicates I've been pretty sick :) 

I thought i explained in my email we are not planning CLI. We are planning 
script shell instead. There is not, nor do i think there will be a way to run 
this stuff with CLI, just like there's no way to invoke a particular method in 
R without writing a short script. 

That said, yes, you can try to run it as a java application, i.e. [java|scala] 
-cp <cp>. <class name> 

where -cp is what `mahout classpath` returns.
