Hadoop 2.2.0 is compatible with Mahout 0.8?

Question

I have hadoop cluster version 2.2.0 running with mahout 0.8, is it compatible? Because whenever I run this command:

bin/mahout recommenditembased --input mydata.dat --usersFile user.dat --numRecommendations 2 --output output/ --similarityClassname SIMILARITY_PEARSON_CORRELATION

Give me this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobContext, but class was expected

Or Im wrong? Any info would be helpful.

compiling 0.8 against 2.2 has problems the last time i tried. you should use 1.2.x – Reposition

Answer 1

No, it does not work with Hadoop 2.x, someone else got the same error message like you.

It seems that at the very least it would require a recompile.

And more people are having the same problems: how can I compile/using mahout for hadoop 2.0?

Good to know, Ive searched too on apache mail list, some people had this problem too. – Calderon

Answer 2

About an hour ago Mahout has officially added support to Hadoop 2.x in the master branch (see MAHOUT-1329)

Checkout the code here https://github.com/apache/mahout and recompile using:

mvn clean package -Dhadoop2.version=2.2.0

Try and see if that works.

It gives error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.hadoop.util.ProgramDriver.driver([Ljava/lang/String;)V at org.apache.mahout.driver.MahoutDriver.main(MahoutDriver.java:195) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:208) – Sarong

@Sarong did u apply the patch for Mahout-1329 before trying to recompile? Better if you could try running with Mahout HEAD. – Hoxha

I've just recompiled the code of trunk using maven goal.. how to apply patch ??? – Sarong

Answer 3

You can get the source code from github https://github.com/apache/mahout and run the following command

mvn -Dhadoop2.version=2.2.0 -DskipTests clean install

Then, you can find the release package in distribution/target/
