I’ve been working my way through Dragan Milcevski’s mini tutorial on using Mahout to do content based filtering on documents and reached the final step where I needed to read in the generated item-similarity files.

I got the example compiling by using the following Maven dependency:

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.mahout</groupId>
      <artifactId>mahout-core</artifactId>
      <version>0.9</version>
</dependency>

Unfortunately, when I ran the code I ran into a version incompatibility problem:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: Server IPC version 9 cannot communicate with client version 4

Version 0.9.0 of mahout-core was published in early 2014 so I expect it was built against an earlier version of Hadoop than I’m using (2.7.2).

I tried updating the Hadoop dependencies that were being called in the stack trace to no avail.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
    <artifactId>hadoop-client</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.2</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
    <artifactId>hadoop-hdfs</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.2</version>
</dependency>

When stepping through the stack trace I noticed that my program was still using an old version of hadoop-core, so with one last throw of the dice I decided to try explicitly excluding that:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.mahout</groupId>
    <artifactId>mahout-core</artifactId>
    <version>0.9</version>

    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
            <artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

And amazingly it worked. Now, finally, I can see how similar my documents are!
