Lots of non-math in math-scala, Reader/Writer traits, options, option parsing, driver base classes, IndexedDataset (mini-Dataframes), and there will always be more because there is no other engine-neutral module. So far the rules as I understand them are; if it’s engine neutral put it in math-scala. The rule doesn’t match the name and since this will be the first release to go to the Maven repos as an artifact it seems like a good time to name it for what it is. Either this or we create a new module for non-math?

Or was last time i checked. it will be what R calls "R-base", and I would welcome no other scope there. all environment things are math. all ML things are math. quasi-newton, bayesian optimizers, linear search are all math. Stats are math. als, (d)ssvd, d(spca), (d)als are all math. non-math are perhaps an app server like R shiny, if we ever get there, that definitely deserves a module. But other than that, what else we are talking here? renaming artifacts is confusing to hands-on people (me including). it is the reason why i lost my way in modern hadoop dependencies. i am good with all the "oneric ocelot" and the rest of fancy animal kingdom names On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 9:34 AM, Pat Ferrel <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The primary artifacts needed/created for the new scala stuff are math, math-scala, spark, spark-shell, h2o Might it be better to rename math-scala to core-scala (or just core) since it does now and will increasingly include non-math. This is where engine neutral stuff goes and so is a core dependency. Also thinking about a name for the Mahout Scala DSL, Shell, optimized liner algebra, bayesian ops, stats, yada yada - environment. How about (sticking with the sanskrit theme) "him tendua" or maybe just “tendua", which is sanskrit for mountain leopard or panther. A nice word easily found in searches that evokes good connotations. Besides the kits are seriously cute.
