Pressing the "Cluster" button in a facet list leads to a stall #190

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have a csv excel text file (some 2100 rows) - Refine reads it in without 
problems
2. I apply the default text facet for one name column - it gets into the facet 
frame to the left w/o problems
3.I press the "Cluster" button - the cluster process starts - but nothing 
happens.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Just the "clustering" announcement running

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Just downloaded it - so must be 2.0. I use Windows XP.

Please provide any additional information below.

Any chance you can upload that data here or a subset of it that's giving you 
problem? You're probably hitting a bug that's only triggered by some particular 
piece of data.

CarlF002, thanks for submitting the bug report.

I can't reproduce this (I'm using a dataset with 7000+ rows).  Could you 
provide the log from the console screen?

If possible could you also provide the dataset you are working with? (Please 
note that any data posted here will be publically viewable, so please ensure 
you have the necessary permissions before you do so)

Thanks

I had the same problem on a dataset with about 3000 rows, all the more 
maddening because the clustering was working perfectly for a coworker. After 
searching through bug reports and the documentation, I stumbled across one 
mention of Chrome and Firefox, in passing. Asked the coworker only to find out 
he was indeed running Chrome.  I switched from IE to Chrome and haven't had 
another issue. If one of those browsers is required, it would probably be 
useful to note that on the Installation Instructions and/or FAQs. If they 
aren't, I was running IE8 on Windows XP.

I don't think Refine can take .ods files. Could you provide .tsv, .csv, or 
excel?

So now I see 60 rows. Clustering using method "nearest neighbor", distance 
function PPM, and a radius of 1.0 yields 1 cluster that contains Locke, Gerald 
and Locke, Gerald S. It seems to be working just fine on these 60 rows. How 
many rows does your full data set contain?

My file has lots of rows but I have tested on the sub set provided here and 
even on this the cluster popup doesn't appear....

also suppose my data set has a huge list of companies can these be clustered 
into groups of companies of same entities.... for example google and all its 
subsidaries in the data set appear in one cluster... can we make this happen???

I'm using Chrome and Firefox and there's no issue with them on my machine. When 
I hear browser-related issues, they are often in IE.

As for the Google and subsidiary case, this is not easy. I'd recommend using 
facets to discover patterns, then create new columns that simplify the original 
column (such as removing anything following a comma), and then cluster by the 
new columns.
