Yes there is a framework in the code for running a Recommender across machines in Hadoop, and a Hadoop job which distributes part of the processing for a slope one recommender.
Both could use testing, refinement and enhancement. I do not know of an algorithm which is by nature efficiently distributable. Finding and implementing such a thing would be great. I would be the person to contact about this so feel free to run your proposals by me.

Will anyone tell me about the current status of recommender algorithms in Mahout please? Does it need any improvement? Thanks a lot. -- Yin Qiu
