Ted, Grant,
I'm trying to use our canopy clustering code with my own distance measure and I'm getting a class not found exception trying to load it. My job, which ran great before I changed the distance measure, is packaged in a jar file with the mahout-dev jar inside it in /lib. My job calls the CanopyClusteringJob.runJob() method and passes in my distance measure class name as before. I'm wondering if you can see anything wrong with my packaging or, perhaps, how the Canopy class is going about instantiating it. My understanding is Hadoop copies the jar file to all the nodes, so I do not understand why the class cannot be found. Jeff
