[jira] Created: (MAHOUT-510) Standardize serialization mechanisms

Standardize serialization mechanisms
------------------------------------

                 Key: MAHOUT-510
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-510
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 0.4
            Reporter: Sean Owen
             Fix For: 0.5


At the moment this is tracking a broader concern: to standardize as much as possible how we approach serialization. The long-term goal is notionally to use the following "encodings" as the input/output of Mahout stuff, and by extension, probably internally too.

- Text
- Vector Writable
- (maybe Avro)

not

- Serializable
- GSON / JSON

Done (moved to user@)

Is anyone using any JSON related serialization in the code? in a way
that's painful to remove? Just gauging whether it is used now.

  Perhaps we should solicit input on removing Json from our user 
community too? I'd hate to whipsaw our customers as there is little cost 
in leaving it in where it is in already. It's really a hygiene issue, 
imho. I'd like to understand how it is being used first.
