MiA NewsKMeansClustering Example Help

[Chris Harrington <ch...@heystaks.com>]

Hi all, 

I'm new to Mahout and I've been going through the MiA book, lately I've been trying Chapter 10's example of NewsKMeansClustering as it looks like a good starting point for my own stuff but I've run into a problem just trying to run and view the output.

I'm trying to view the output of running the java file via the cluster dump utility but all I get out of it is an empty text file.

I'm using MiA-mahout-0.6 and mahout-distribution-0.6. This is the process I went trough to get to this point.
Get the reuters data and put it into seqfiles.  (I issue these commands to bin/mahout in the mahout-distribution-0.6 project)
mvn -e -q exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.apache.lucene.benchmark.utils.ExtractReuters" -Dexec.args="reuters/ reuters-extracted/"
bin/mahout seqdirectory -c UTF-8 -i examples/reuters-extracted/ -o reuters-seqfiles
I (manually - drag and drop) move the  seq files to MiA (0.6) project into the folder reuters-seqfiles.
I then run MiA example of NewsKMeansClustering from chapter 10 which results in a folder newsClusters being created and populated with various files (clusters folder, dictionary.file-0, centroids folder, etc)
There doesn't appear to be any unusual errors in the console

I then run the cluster dump command to create an output.txt file.
../mahout-distribution-0.6/bin/mahout clusterdump -s newsClusters/clusters/clusters-19/ -o output.txt -d newsClusters/dictionary.file-0 -dt sequencefile -n 10
but all this does is create an empty text file.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Yeah I just did, seems there was something very wrong with my setup or I did something foolish during setup, anyway I removed it all (mahout and hadoop) and started from scratch and it's working now. Sorry for the trouble.
