Pls check this link http://shuyo.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/mahout-development-environment-with-maven-and-eclipse-2/
Here mahout is being run from eclipse without needing Hadoop infra. I think Mahout can be used as a library too. Some algorithms are implemented in map-reduce fashion and they may need Hadoop, but rewriting them in non-hadoop fashion should not be a big deal. -----Original Message----- From: Marek Slim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 9:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Apache Mahout without Hadoop I read that Mahout has very good text classifier and licence is by Apache (not for example GPL like Weka). I don't need (now) features of Hadoop. I just want to use text classifiers. I heard that setting up all Hadoop is quite painful.. that why I want to use just Mahout. Do you think that setting up MAHOUR_LOCAL is enough ? 2012/8/15 Arun Ahuja <[email protected]> > Is there a particular reason you want to do this?
