Hi Reshmi! This is Dan (from Mahout). I'm writing here because for whatever reason your e-mail hasn't reached dev@mahout and I saw it here first. I'm really happy that you want to do your Masters with Mahout! :) It's an awesome idea and I too have done exactly that and will be presenting my Bachelors with Mahout in a few days!
This of course makes me unqualified to be a mentor... I've touched parts of the code base but I feel that I'm lacking enough machine learning knowledge to be of much help for your thesis. That being said, for any non-machine learning questions about Mahout you may have, feel free to e-mail the user@ or dev@ and I'll do my best to try and answer! Good luck!
