Thanks Sean! A follow-up question then: It turns out my project needs
0.6 and won't run with the Cloudera 0.5-cdh3u2. Now it looks like I'm
going to need to get Mahout 0.6 to play nicely with the Cloudera
hadoop-0.20.2-cdh3u2. I noticed on some of your other threads you
mentioned you had an aim of getting Mahout to work with the various
distros of Hadoop 0.20.2. Are there any issues at all I should be aware of?
Cheers,
Eli

This is not specific to Mahout; the best answer here is really Maven.
You just depend on Mahout and then specify what version you want --
0.5, 0.6, etc.
If you're using Maven, you can depend on version "0.6-SNAPSHOT" if you
configure the Apache snapshots repo as a source for artifacts.
(Though, is snapshot publishing still working? I don't know)
You can always build and deploy to your local Maven repo an
0.6-SNAPSHOT build too, if you have some knowledge of Maven.
If you're not using Maven, and just sticking in .jars, the simple
answer is to check out HEAD, build, and just use the newer .jar files.
In that sense it is not any different than any other project artifact
in Java.

Hi Folks,
This might be more of a Java/Maven question than a Mahout question, and if
it is I apologize as I'm a bit new to those as well as Mahout. I'm currently
working with a project that's built on top of Mahout 0.6, and I'm hoping to
see if it will still run on the Cloudera supported 0.5-cdh3u2. This in turn
led me to the broader question: what's the easiest way to switch in a new
version of Mahout to a project built on top of it, or what's the best way to
build a project that implements Mahout classes so that I can easily try it
on top of a different version of Mahout?
Cheers,
Eli
