Jeff Eastman resolved MAHOUT-596.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

Implementation seems correct to me

>             Project: Mahout
>          Issue Type: Test
>          Components: Clustering
>    Affects Versions: 0.5
>            Reporter: Yuval Merhav
>            Assignee: Jeff Eastman
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 0.6

> See the observe method in AbstractCluster:
> public void observe(Vector x, double weight) {
>     s0 += weight;
>     Vector weightedX = x.times(weight);
>  ....
>   }
> And then the computeParameters method:
>  
> public void computeParameters() {
>     ...
>  numPoints = (int) s0;
>     ...
> }
> So if someone changes the weight from the default value 1.0, it affects the number of points in the cluster. It does not
> however affect the centroid (which I'm not sure if that's correct or not -- depends on what the author meant to use the weight for).
> I attached a few simple test cases that fail.
