Mahout ♥ HBase

Well, more accurately I’m using and liking both Mahout and HBase in my work at BiggerBoat, but this is a more fun title and I like using the more obscure HTML character entities.

Anyway, I posted an adapter class to Apache JIRA on Friday for Mahout / HBase integration that allows HTables to effectively be manipulated as sparse vectors (read through RowResult, write through BatchUpdate) in Mahout using the Vector interface. Check it out, MAHOUT-78.

Looks like Mahout needs to generate some HTML for their javadoc.
