hi Mahesh,

I formatted my HDFS, and now it can work out of box on pseudo-distributed
mode. My HDFS must have behaved abnormally.

Thanks!

Wei

hi Mahesh,

Thanks a lot for the response!

(1) I am using cluster_reuters.sh to run the K-means. I simply started the
script and selected k-means as the clustering algorithm. I had my
HADOOP_HOME environment variable set up, also my hadoop runs in
pseudo-distributed mode.

(2) I did have
a /tmp/mahout-work-weiz/reuters-kmeans-clusters/part-randomSeed file
generated on HDFS, but it is nearly empty (hundreds of bytes).
Compared to the generated files on my local mahout working directories,
most (if not all) generated files on HDFS are nearly empty. That is, the
output files were generated but there is no content in it (when I use
hadoop dfs -text to look into it)
I suspect the HDFS writting had some issues.

(3) The "cluster-reuters.sh" script can succesfully finish the texts
vectorization Map-Reduce jobs. But again, the output seems to be empty.
I am trying to run it in pseudo-mode manually to investigate more. I am not
sure if the cluster-reuters.sh is intended to run on a pseudo-distributed
Hadoop.

Thanks a lot and any pointer will be greatly appreciated.

Wei

whether this path exists in your Hadoop HDFS

Hi Wei Zhang,

Can you check whether this path exists in your Hadoop HDFS
/tmp/mahout-work-weiz/reuters-kmeans-clusters/part-randomSeed

Instead of using cluster_reuters.sh script file can you run Kmeans manually
on your cluster.

BTW, what is the command you are using for running cluster_reuters.sh
script?

Best,
Mahesh.B.
