2009-2012:
At the time, Mahout (and Mahout in Action is a great testimony of that era)
was a sum of bricks, full of relatively high-level mathematics concepts but
useable by what I'd call (myself included) wanna-be
I was just watching it. ;)

Trevor gave a great presentation at our user group. It was live streamed on
Periscope. Trevor - maybe you could share the url? I don’t have it handy at
the moment.

Hello Isabel and Florent,
I'm currently working on a side-by-side demo of R / Python / SparkML(Mllib)
/ Mahout, but in very broad strokes here is how I would compare them:
R- Most statistical functionality. Most flexibility. Implement your own
algorithms- mathematically expressive language.
Hi,
I am in the same spot as Isabel.
Used to use/understand most of the «old» standalone mahout, now doing some
data transformation with spark, but I am not sure where Samsara fits in the
ecosystem.
We also do quite a bit of computation in R.
Basically we are willing to learn and support the

To pick this question up: I've been watching Mahout from a distance for quite
