My dataset is a csv file as an input but it has many fields as text and i understand mahout needs numeric values. Can you give me a headstart as to where i should start and what kind of tools i need to parse the text colummns, Also an idea on which classifiers or clustering methods i should use would be highly appreciated. Best Regards; Yash Patel
