Problem with mahout seqdirectory

[Natalia Connolly]

Hello,

   I have mahout 0.9 and a single-node Hadoop 1.2.1 running on a Mac.

   I am trying to create a bunch of vectors for clustering from a
collection of text documents.  So I did:

$MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout seqdirectory --input
/Users/hadoop/fuzzyjoin-results/NOTES/progress_notes --output
/tmp/mahout-vectors/

    However, this gives me an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: File does not
exist: /Users/hadoop/fuzzyjoin-results/NOTES/progress_notes

even though the directory definitely exists and contains lots of files.

    After a lot of googling I found that if I add "-xm sequential" to the
above command, it does not complain; however, the output directory
(/tmp/mahout-vectors) is empty.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thank you,
      Natalia Connolly
