             Summary: Twenty Newsgroups Classification Example fails in case 
running with MAHOUT_LOCAL=true 
                 Key: MAHOUT-1864
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1864
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Examples
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: giriraj sharma
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.13.0


Twenty Newsgroups Classification Example fails in case running with 
{{MAHOUT_LOCAL=true}} or else when {{HADOOP_HOME}} env variable is not set.

[Newsgroups|https://mahout.apache.org/users/classification/twenty-newsgroups.html]
 lists instructions in order to run this classifier. When running in standalone 
mode({{MAHOUT_LOCAL=true}}), i.e., running {{$ 
./examples/bin/classify-20newsgroups.sh}}, the script runs 
{{./examples/bin/set-dfs-commands.sh}} internally to export hadoop related env 
variables.

{{set-dfs-commands.sh}} attempts to check for hadoop version despite running 
with {{MAHOUT_LOCAL}} set as true. IMHO, the script works fine considering the 
prerequisites, but, it will as well make sense if we can update the script 
{{./examples/bin/set-dfs-commands.sh}} to export hadoop env varibales only in 
case {{MAHOUT_LOCAL}} is not set to true.
