Oh OK let me try to run through the steps myself to see what happens. Yeah I hadn't completely merged into the main build file. Well, I have in the sense that the code compiles and builds through that. I left the more project-specific targets in a separate file.
I am not against combining it all, in fact, I was just worried about polluting the main build file. What kind of compile errors do you get? maybe I can diagnose from that. Yes I committed two integrations with Hadoop: one, a job that will run n copies of a Recommender and use it to generate recommendations for users. So this is a way to crudely parallelize recommending items to all users at once in batch. This would be good for recomputing everyone's recommendations, say, every night. I also added a job to compute item-item pref diffs, which is an expensive preprocessing phase for slope-one recommenders. This is very amenable to Hadoop even if may be of somewhat narrow interest. It works locally but in honesty I have not tried it on a real cluster yet.
