I will talk about recent developments in Mahout and real-time learning. In particular, I will cover the results from quality and speed testing of Mahout's new super-fast k-means clustering algorithms (hint, quality is very good and speed is phenomenal). I will also dive deep into a design for a on-line clustering facility that can cluster the full content of the Twitter fire-hose into thousands of clusters in real-time.
