I saw a presentation on Mahout at hadoop world NY. The room was filled up. Lot of interest from attendees.
Most questions were on basics. However there were some interest to see more Mahout algos enabled for mapreduce mode.
Good to see more interest in Mahout!

Bummer that I couldn't be there.  I am in town, but had to meet with
customers during all the talks.

Thanks so much for providing that summary after attending the presentation. 
Always great to get the feedback given after conference presentations back to 
the Mahout mailinglist.

Can you elaborate a bit on which types of problem settings people need mapreduce 
based solutions for? There are some algorithms that are just not very well 
suited for mapreduce - but then again there are frameworks like giraph that look 
pretty interesting - in addition several applications really benefit most from 
mapreduce based data pre-processing and feature extraction.
