Drew Farris updated MAHOUT-11:
------------------------------
Attachment: MAHOUT-11-kmeans-cleanup.patch
Attached a patch that takes Isabel's original patch to remove static fields in
kmeans clustering, makes the discussed change for the output collectors, cleans
up some warnings and unused instance of the convergenceDelta variable. Fixes
the RandomSeedGenerator in kmeans clustering and adds a unit test for it. Also,
KMeansClusterer no longer extends Cluster -- it wasn't necessary to do so.
Isabel, are you planning on taking a crack at the rest of the clustering code
that uses static fields? I'm finding this issue a great way to become familiar
with the code, and if you're not already intending to work on it, I could give
it a try.
> Static fields used throughout clustering code (Canopy, K-Means).

> I file this as a bug, even though I'm not 100% sure it is one. In the currect
> code the information is exchanged via static fields (for example, distance
> measure and thresholds for Canopies are static field). Is it always true in
> Hadoop that one job runs inside one JVM with exclusive access? I haven't seen
> it anywhere in Hadoop documentation and my impression was that everything
> uses JobConf to pass configuration to jobs, but jobs are configured on a
> per-object basis (a job is an object, a mapper is an object and everything
> else is basically an object).
> If it's possible for two jobs to run in parallel inside one JVM then this is
> a limitation and bug in our code that needs to be addressed.
