Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-103:
----------------------------------

Oh my just saw this. My thoughts after looking at the patch:

Overall this feels like its doing the same thing as a combination of 
TanimotoCoefficientSimilarity and BooleanPreferenceUser -- defining user/item 
similarity in terms of simple co-occurrence of items in users. 

In particular FitnessEvaluator looks like the same thing as ItemSimilarity. 
Click feels like a domain-specific class -- to represent an Item in the 
framework that doesn't have an associated pref value, use BooleanUserPreference 
with GenericUser.

The Hadoop job likewise seems domain-specific.

> Nearest neighborhood type queries for users/items can be answered efficiently 
> and effectively by analyzing the co-occurrence model of a user/item w.r.t 
> another. This patch aims at providing an implementation for answering such 
> queries based upon simple co-occurrence counts.
