[jira] Commented: (MAHOUT-94) Make the Taste Demo more automated.

["Sean Owen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-94?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12646006#action_12646006 ] 

Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-94:
---------------------------------

One issue with getting the data automatically is that GroupLens has asked to not include their data with the distro, since they need those that use it to acknowledge their license terms. Automatically grabbing it also seems to go around that.

The jetty part is possible, sure. There's yet another little catch that may make it hard to make this plug-and-play and that is that the demo needs a large heap, which is not available by default, which means setting command line options. That could be taken care of in an ant target I guess.

Unless I remember incorrectly this will also entail sticking Axis in the distro since the web app that gets generated exposes a web service via a .jws file.

> Would be really cool if the Taste Demo (http://lucene.apache.org/mahout/taste.html#demo) was easier to get up and going.  For instance, we could have an Ant task that automatically gets the data and puts it into the work directory just like we do for Reuters, Wikipedia and Twenty News.  Then, we could also ship Jetty w/ the examples, such that one just needs to do {code}java -jar start.jar{code} to fire up the WAR and have it running (Solr does this)
