Re : Mahout on EC2
Sounds cool :)
I'll do the TSP part, but it may take some time because I'm a bit busy (PhD's administrative stuff).
There are many available large TSP benchmarks, and it seems that there is a common file format for them TSPLIB (http://www.informatik.uni-heidelberg.de/groups/comopt/software/TSPLIB95/DOC.PS). So the TSP example should be modified to load those benchmark files.
I have a question about EC2 : can you run Java Swing programs and see the GUI because the TSP example has a Swing GUI, or should we should make a console version of the example ?

Ok, in this case its the main program that has a Swing GUI, the Map-Reduce Jobs have no GUIs at all. But yeah, it's always good to separate the GUI code from the logic.

For the master machine that launches the map-reduce computation, you can
tunnel an X display from somewhere else to display swing applications.
You will also need to do the separation for the reason that Sean says... you
will be running on many machines.

I think you can run a program that uses Swing - unless I am wrong this
no longer result in an error when running on a 'headless' machine -
for example a box without X11.
But no I don't think there is anyway to interact with it, especially
considering you might be running on many machines at once.
But the same is true of the console - you won't be able to interact
with the program that way either.
It does sound good, in any event, to separate out Swing client code
from the core logic.
