What data base interfaces are there for Mahout? The website mentions MongoDB and Cassandra. I get the feeling these are for recommender systems only. Are there any database that Mahout can interface directly in order to perform clustering?
I am thinking of an example where I have a large table in Hive of customer data and I want to do customer segmentation. Normally I make a CSV file of this data and then manually import it into some Java code. Is there a better way of doing that?
