Hi,

I'm trying to run the ALS algorithm. However, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "pool-1-thread-3"
org.apache.mahout.math.IndexException: Index -691877539 is outside
allowable range of [0,2147483647)
at org.apache.mahout.math.AbstractVector.set(AbstractVector.java:395)
at
org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.impl.recommender.svd.ALSWRFactorizer.sparseUserRatingVector(ALSWRFactorizer.java:305)

At line 305 in ALSWRFactorizer.java, there is the following code

ratings.set((int) preference.getItemID(), preference.getValue());

My suspicion is that the error results from the casting to int in the above
line. Item IDs in mahout are long, so if you cast a long (which does not
fit into an int) then you will get negative numbers and hence the error.

However, this explanation also seems to me implausible since I don't think
such an error exists in Mahout code.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
