        @avibryant cool! Have you considered Spark? Similar API to Scalding, but no Hadoop--designed from the ground up for iterative computations.

        @ballaballinger yeah, I suspect Spark is the future, but I've been working in and on Scalding for a few years so it's very comfortable.

        @avibryant neat! do you have an example program using brushfire?

        @b0rk just the TestJob in the repo, which is not very interesting. More to come.

        @avibryant cool! Can you include an explanation in the README of how to run the TestJob? My Scala-inexperienced self doesn't know how.

        @b0rk 'mvn compile && ./run'. Needs a "data" input file, TSV of ints, first column is label 0 or 1.

        @avibryant What are you using to build tree, CART?

      3. Avi Bryant‏ @avibryant 24 Dec 2013
        Replying to @mgershoff

        @mgershoff it's fairly generic. CART would be the simplest instantiation of the framework... CHAID would be a more complex one, eg.

        @avibryant Used to use the CHAID / C4.5 a lot back when I was at the advertising agency during the '90s - clients loved it.

        @mgershoff I have a real fondness for CHAID as an explanatory/exploratory tool.

        @avibryant Right, you could either confuse the shit out of your clients (and yourself) rambling on about odds ratios or show them a picture

        @posco @avibryant it's not even types. I'll write java when it makes sense. I just find scala to be unbearable.

        @sorenmacbeth @avibryant I don't think Java is what most people have in mind when they speak of type systems.
