Quickstart for kMeans
For GSOC students,
In case anyone was going through the code and finding some difficulty in
running stuff, I have updated the kMeans page on the
wiki<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/k-Means> with
a short quickstart shell script that will run it for you. You can tweak the
settings and reuse it. Reading the code after running it will hopefully help
out in understanding the codebase well.
If any of you have any tips to share, or have made notes of
quirks-to-be-aware-of, do post them here for everyone's benefit.

Hi,
I've put up a slightly cleaner version of the script on JIRA at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-390
Best regards,
Sisir Koppaka

Sisir,
Thanks for the script. I think it would be great to open a JIRA issue for this and we can check in the shell script under the examples.
I think LDA also has similar tools to download Reuters, we should try to reuse if possible.

Indeed, the wiki is pretty out of date in some areas and the actual apis
have changed (since 2008!). For users wishing to launch clustering jobs
using trunk I suggest checking out utils TestCDbwEvaluator and
TestClusterDumper which employ the latest versions. These do not use the
command-line for execution but use the runJob methods in the respective
driver classes. Once I get my wiki karma back I will go over them all
again and update for consistency.

Two more useful resources for quickstarting with the code -
