You're right, my bad. If you don't use RowSimilarityJob directly, but
org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.similarity.item.ItemSimilarityJob
(which calls RowSimilarityJob under the covers), your output will be a
textfile that is directly usable with FileItemSimilarity.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
RowSimilarityJob produces an output in the form of:
Key: 0: Value: {61112:0.21139380179557016,52144:0.23797846026935565,...}
whereas FileItemSimilarity is expecting a comma or tab separated inputs.
I assume that you meant that the output of RowSimilarityJob can be loaded
by the FileItemSimilarity after doing the appropriate parsing. Is that
correct, or is there actually a way to load the raw output of
RowSimilarityJob into FileItemSimilarity?
Thanks.

Quick+tour+of+text+analysis+using+the+Mahout+command+line
inside Java code and not using the command line tool? I am not interested
in the clustering part but in 'Calculate several similar docs to each doc
in the data'. In particular, I am interested in loading the output of the
rowsimilarity tool into memory to be used as my custom ItemSimilarity
implementation for an ItemBasedRecommender.
What I exactly want is to have a matrix in memory where for every doc in
my
catalogue I have the similarity with the 100 (that is the threshold I am
using) most similar items an undefined similarity for the rest.
Is it possible to do with the Java API? I know it can be done calling the
commands from inside the Java code and I guess that also using
corresponding SparseVectorsFromSequenceFiles, DistributedRowMatrix and
RowItemSimilarityJob. But I still see cannot see an easy way of parsing
the
output of RowItemSimilarityJob to the memory representation I intend to
use.
Thanks a lot.
