Re: Statistical clustering MapReduce example?

Hi David,

a student once wrote a paper about map reduce and clustering in my  
company during a internal ship.
I will send it to you off list since the list does not support  
attachments.
However if someone wants to have a copy as well, let me know.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Albert, Hi All,

yes it works pretty well. Back than we used weta as map reduce  
implementation, a system we wrote since hadoop was part of nutch and  
difficult to use stand alone.
With hadoop the performance should be even better also the  
implementation should be much easier.

We do a lot of text mining with map reduce and it works/scale great.  
It would be nice to have a big table implementation for some tasks  
that need to share a fast "memory" but I'm busy with other stuff  
these days to help working on that as well.
We worked around this problem by having a set of boxes that have a  
big RAM and hold a simple HashMap in memory.
We use a hadoop partitioner to decide which key value tuple we push  
into which hashmap server.

Stefan

Folks,

I've posted the paper at https://www.lostlake.org/MapReduceKMeans.pdf

Thanks,

David

Thank you for the paper Stefan.  I was surprised at how well the
K-Means algorithm fits into MapReduce.  I actually never thought of
writing the output back to the FS to test for convergence.

Hi together,
since so many people asked me, I uploaded the paper to my blog.
