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.

A new HBase blog

HBase commiter Jean-Daniel Cryans put up a blog for HBase. Yay, now I can get some distilled project news from my newsreader instead of having to wade through mailing list archives and/or lurk in IRC.

HBase bulk load/import example

Per my earlier post, I’ve almost finished an (actually compilable, functional) bulk loader example. Should be able to post it tomorrow afternoon to the HBase/MapReduce page, assuming I don’t get stuck in interviews/meetings all day.
