mahout hadoop release

[ops <op...@netscienceresearch.com>]

Hello,

Is a particular reason that mahout uses an older release of hadoop 
rather than 19.2 or 2.0?

Does the development plan include getting more current and staying more 
current with hadoop and other libraries?

Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation.
We're on hadoop 0.19.2 now,  and were about to look at 0.2.0 but will 
hold off.

So the other answer must be: Mahout does intend to be up to speed with 
the most current version of hadoop - the one that works properly!

Mahout is on 0.20 already, in Subversion, so I guess the answer is 'yes'.

Funny you bring it up, we were just talking about it yesterday -- 0.20
doesn't "work" in the sense that the new APIs it introduces aren't
apparently supported by Hadoop itself. So 0.20 is almost too new
anyway. I'd stay on 0.19, and I imagine Mahout 0.1 works fine with
that anyway.
