Distance measures in MapReduce

Hello everyone,

I'm reading CosineDistanceMeasure class source code, and now I have a
question.

This class calculate the distance in memory, but the class override
"configure" function (got from Parametered interface). It seems to me, it's
possibile to run a MapReduce job from CosineDistanceMeasure.

What's the purpose for this?

Thanks
Claudio
