The K-Means is a well known clustering algorithm that has been successfully applied to a wide variety of problems. However, its application has usually been restricted to small datasets. Mahout is a cloud computing approach to K-Means that runs on a Hadoop system. Both Mahout and Hadoop are free and open source. Due to their inexpensive and scalable characteristics, these platforms can be a promising technology to solve data intensive problems which were not trivial in the past. In this work we studied the performance of Mahout using a large data set. The tests were running on Amazon EC2 instances and allowed to compare the gain in runtime when running on a multi node cluster. This paper presents some results of ongoing research.
