Hi Mahout Users, The Elephant Bird team has just released version 3.0.0 which includes a major refactoring of the codebase to split out independent modules and Mavenize the project's build.
One of the new modules, "elephant-bird-mahout", is geared towards Mahout utilities and includes a "VectorWritableConverter" class supporting round-trip conversion of data between Mahout Vector and Pig tuple formats. This class, coupled with "SequenceFileLoader" and "SequenceFileStorage" utilities from module "elephant-bird-pig" allow some interesting opportunities for manipulation and generation of Mahout Vector data with Pig. More details can be found at the EB Github project page: https://github.com/kevinweil/elephant-bird/ Best, Andy @sagemintblue
