> If I do this:
> mahout rowsimilarity --input matrixified/matrix --output sims/ --numberOfColumns 27684 --similarityClassname SIMILARITY_LOGLIKELIHOOD --excludeSelfSimilarity
> then clean my output and rerun,
> rm -rf sims/ # (though this step doesn't even seem needed)
> then try again:
> mahout rowsimilarity --input matrixified/matrix --output sims/ --numberOfColumns 27684 --similarityClassname SIMILARITY_LOGLIKELIHOOD --excludeSelfSimilarity
> The temp files left from the first run make a re-run impossible - we get: "Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileAlreadyExistsException: Output directory temp/weights already exists".
> Manually deleting the temp directory fixes this.
> I get same behaviour if I explicitly pass in a --tempdir path, e.g.:
> mahout rowsimilarity --input matrixified/matrix --output sims/ --numberOfColumns 27684 --similarityClassname SIMILARITY_LOGLIKELIHOOD --excludeSelfSimilarity --tempDir tmp2/
> Presumably something like HadoopUtil.delete(getConf(),tempDirPath) is needed somewhere?  (and maybe --overwrite too ?)
