The goal for this project is to create a sample application in Cascading 2.7 which shows how to build a simple kind of social recommender.
More detailed background information and step-by-step documentation is provided at https://github.com/Cascading/SampleRecommender/wiki
To generate an IntelliJ project use:
gradle ideaModule
To build the sample app from the command line use:
gradle clean jar
Before running this sample app, be sure to set your HADOOP_HOME environment variable and clear the output directory, then to run on a desktop/laptop with Apache Hadoop in standalone mode:
rm -rf output
yarn jar ./build/libs/recommender.jar data/en.stop data/tweets output/token output/similarity
To view the results:
more output/similarity/part-00000
An example of log captured from a successful build+run is at https://gist.github.com/2949834
