Review Request: Row mean job for PCA

Review request for mahout.
Summary
-------
Here's a patch with a simple job to calculate the row mean (column-wise mean). One outstanding issue is the combiner, this requires a wrtiable class IntVectorTupleWritable, where the Int stores the number of rows, and the Vector stores the column-wise sum.
This addresses bug MAHOUT-923.

Thanks Dmitriy. I've updated the diff to push the row summation into the mapper as you suggested, force the number of reducers to 1, and make the final output key IntWritable. Could you please take a look?

Re: Review Request: Row mean job for PCA
Posted by Raphael Cendrillon <ce...@gmail.com>.
Thanks Lance. That makes a lot of sense.
You're right regarding the need for combiners. What's the best way to create an Int + Vector writable pair? Should I just define one from scratch or is there some framework already in Mahout I should reuse?
Thanks again!

Re: Review Request: Row mean job for PCA
Posted by Lance Norskog <go...@gmail.com>.
There is NullWritable as the key between mapper and reducer, and as
the first value in the pairs saved in a SequenceFile. As the
mapper->reducer key, it works.
In mahout, SequenceFile vectors and matrices are stored as
<IntWritable,VectorWritable> pairs. Even though this job is in the
middle of another job, it should follow the convention.
You do need to use only one reducer, and so combiners may be worthwhile.
The person using this job knows the right vector to use. It may be
that it gets a lot of sparse vectors but will become a dense vector.
Or a vector that writes to a database. Or something else. In fact, I
may just want to turn a vector from Dense to Sparse, and I could
achieve that with this job.

Thanks Dmitry.
Regarding 1, if I understand correctly the number of reducers depends on the number of unique keys. Since all keys are set to the same value (null), then all of the mapper outputs should arrive at the same reducer. This seems to work in the unit test, but I may be missing something?
Regarding 2, that makes alot of sense. I'm wondering how many rows should be processed per mapper? I guess there is a trade-off between scalability (processing more rows within a single map job means that each row must have less columns) and speed? Is there someplace in the SSVD code where the matrix is split into slices of rows that I could use as a reference?
Regarding 3, I believe NullWritable is OK. It's used pretty extensively in TimesSquaredJob in DistributedRowMatrx. However if you feel there is some disadvantage to this I could replace "NullWritable.get()" with "new IntWritable(1)" (that is, set all of the keys to 1). Would that be more suitable?

Hm. I hope i did not read the code or miss something.
1 -- i am not sure this will actually work as intended unless # of reducers is corced to 1, of which i see no mention in the code.
2 -- mappers do nothing, passing on all the row pressure to sort which is absolutely not necessary. Even if you use combiners. This is going to be especially the case if you coerce 1 reducer an no combiners. IMO mean computation should be pushed up to mappers to avoid sort pressures of map reduce. Then reduction becomes largely symbolical(but you do need pass on the # of rows mapper has seen, to the reducer, in order for that operation to apply correctly).
3 -- i am not sure -- is NullWritable as a key legit? In my experience sequence file reader cannot instantiate it because NullWritable is a singleton and its creation is prohibited by making constructor private.

Sure. In Matlab/Octave I'm used to mean(A,1) (takes the mean across the 1st dimension, ie. across rows, but done per column). I'll change this to colMeans(), which seems to be clearer.

I can use sed, or perhaps there's a better way?

I would really rather use standard terminology here.
A mean row is a row that is that average of all others, but a row mean would mean an average of the elements a single row. The plural form, row means, indicates the means of all rows. What you are computing are the means of every column.
In contrast, R, Octave and Matlab all use columnMeans as the name of the function being implemented here.

Summary
-------
Here's a patch with a simple job to calculate the row mean (column-wise mean). One outstanding issue is the combiner, this requires a wrtiable class IntVectorTupleWritable, where the Int stores the number of rows, and the Vector stores the column-wise sum.
This addresses bug MAHOUT-923.
