[jira] [Commented] (MAHOUT-1314) StreamingKMeansReducer throws NullPointerException when REDUCE_STREAMING_KMEANS is set to true

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1314?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13743328#comment-13743328 ] 

Stevo Slavic commented on MAHOUT-1314:
--------------------------------------

[~adihaviv] thanks for reporting this.
Line info from stack trace doesn't seem to match 0.8 release (nor current trunk), you must be using some 0.8 snapshot.

{{StreamingKMeansTestMR}} which uses configuration with {{REDUCE_STREAMING_KMEANS}} set to {{true}} successfully passes. So just setting this parameter to {{true}} is not enough to reproduce issue.

> when REDUCE_STREAMING_KMEANS option is set to true (-rskm) the reducer fails with NullPointerException.
> the problem is in the reduce method itself: on line 60 ( return input.getCentroid(); )
> it should be input.getCentroid().clone();
> similar to line 81.
