Library to support GA on Mahout
Hello!
We are working on a project to implement a library to support Genetic
Algorithms on Hadoop. We are considering to contribute it to the Mahout
library.
I would like to know if this is okay and also if there is anything to keep
in mind while implementing the library.
Thanks in advance,
Varsha

Thank you very much. I really needed to hear that.

I think it makes a lot of sense to make a lean GA library that uses Mahout.
That lets you use github for your project and allows you to move at full
speed without worrying about the full consensus involved in an Apache
project.
If you gather some momentum and user base, then it might make sense to move
the library into Mahout. Until then, it makes a huge amount of sense for
it to be all your project.
I am sure that you would still be very welcome here on the mailing to
discuss any questions that you might have about how Mahout can be used to
help you in your goals.

Hello,
Since the reason was to make it leaner would it make sense to work on
implementing a library to support GA on Hadoop/Mahout?
Btw I am a Masters student and this is my graduate project.
I am sorry if this is a trivial doubt.
Thanks for your response,
Regards,
Varsha

And of course you can still get the old code from svn.

Hi Varasha,
about a year ago the watchmaker library was removed from mahout. You can read the details in the following ticket:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1012
You should read this thread from the mailing list archive around: 11/May/12 08:22
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/mahout-dev/201205.mbox/browser
The main reason was to make mahout leaner.
Happy coding
Manuel
