Pre-configured Mahout on the cloud

[Yuval Feinstein <yu...@citypath.com>]

Hi.
I heard about Amazon's Elastic Map Reduce (
http://aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce/)
which provides pre-configured Hadoop servers over the cloud.
Does there exist any service providing Mahout over a similar infrastructure?
i.e a cloud server providing either a stand-alone or a distributed Mahout
service where one can upload data files and run Mahout algorithms?
TIA,
Yuval

An alternative is to use Apache Whirr to quickly set up a Hadoop
cluster on AWS and install the Mahout binary distribution on one of
the nodes.

Checkout http://whirr.apache.org/ and
http://www.searchworkings.org/blog/-/blogs/apache-whirr-includes-mahout-support
for the mahout-client role

This is lightly covered in Mahout in Action but yes there is really little
more to know. You upload the job jar and run it like anything else in AWS.

None that I'm aware of. But its supereasy to use Mahout in EMR: You need
to upload your data and Mahout's job-jar file to Amazon S3. After that
you can you simply start a Hadoop job in EMR that makes use of Mahout,
just as you would use it on the command line with 'hadoop jar'
