This error is still bugging me. The exception:
WARNING: java.io.FileNotFoundException: File
output/clusters-0/part-00000/* does not exist.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: File output/clusters-0/part-00000/*
does not exist.
ocurrs first at:
org.apache.mahout.clustering.kmeans.KMeansDriver.isConverged(KMeansDriver.java:298)
which corresponds to:
private static boolean isConverged(String filePath, JobConf conf,
FileSystem fs)
throws IOException {
Path outPart = new Path(filePath + "/*");
SequenceFile.Reader reader = new SequenceFile.Reader(fs, outPart,
conf); <-- THIS
...
}
where isConverged() is called in this fashion:
return isConverged(clustersOut + "/part-00000", conf, fs);
by runIteration(), which is previously invoked by runJob() like:
String clustersOut = output + "/clusters-" + iteration;
converged = runIteration(input, clustersIn, clustersOut,
measureClass,
delta, numReduceTasks, iteration);
Consequently, assuming its the first iteration and the output folder
has been named "output" by the user, the SequenceFile.Reader receives
"output/clusters-0/part-00000/*" as a path, which is non-existent. I
believe the path should end in "part-00000" and the + "/*" should be
removed... although someone, evidently, thought otherwise.
Any feedback?

I was using Canopy to create input clusters, but the error appeared
while running kMeans (if I run kMeans' job only with previously
created clusters from Canopy placed in output/canopies as initial
clusters, it still fails). I noticed no other problems. I was using
revision 790979 before updating. Strangely, there were no changes in
the job and drivers class from that revision. svn diff shows that the
only classes that changed in org.apache.mahout.clustering.kmeans
package were KMeansInfo.java and RandomSeedGenerator.java

Hum, no, it's looking for the output of the first iteration. Were
there
other errors? What was the last revision you were running? It does
look like
something got horked, as it should be looking for
output/clusters-0/*. Can
you diff the job and driver class to see what changed?

Fellows, today I updated to revision 791558 and while running
kMeans I
got the following exception:
WARNING: java.io.FileNotFoundException: File
output/clusters-0/part-00000/* does not exist.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: File output/clusters-0/part-00000/*
does not exist.
The algorithm isn't interrupted, though. But this exception wasn't
thrown before the update and, to me, its message is not quite clear.
It seems as it's looking for any file inside a "part-00000"
directory,
which doesn't exist; and, as far as I know, "part-xxxxx" are default
names for output files.
I could show the entire stack trace, if needed. Any pointers?

Thanks for the feedback, Jeff.
The logical format of input to KMeans is <Key, Vector> as it is in
sequence
file format, but the Key is never used. To my knowledge, there
is no
requirement to assign identifiers to the input points*. Users
are free
to
associate an arbitrary name field with each vector - also label
mappings
may
be assigned - but these are not manipulated by KMeans or any of the
other
clustering applications. The name field is now used as a vector
identifier
by the KMeansClusterMapper - if it is non-null - in the output step
only.
The key may not be used internally, but externally they can prove to
be pretty useful. For me, keys are userIDs and each Vector
represents
his/her historical behavior. Being able to collect the output
information as <UserID, ClusterID> is quite neat as it allows me to,
for instance, retrieve user information using data directly from a
HDFS file's field.
