Sean Owen updated MAHOUT-510:
-----------------------------

    Assignee: Sean Owen
      Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

Here's my latest work on the subject. It's a big patch which cleans out all use of JSON. Nice and all that.

The only piece I can't get to work is this Dirichlet business. I tried to carefully revise it to pass those same configuration values through simple Configuration object params, and recreate the model on the other end, but it's not working.

It's a bit of a black box... I would be very grateful if Jeff (?) would have any time to apply, maybe spot the issue, and/or fix it. That would complete the patch. Otherwise I'm going to have a hard time understanding how to look into this.

> 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
