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.
