Clustering with automatic labeling question

Hi,

I would ideally need an (article) unsupervised clustering with automatic
cluster labeling (centroid terms, mutual terms). Does any of Mahout
clustering algorithms support the automatic labeling?

I scratched the algorithms pages but it's not immediately clear if any of
them would produce labels.

I also ideally need a hierarchical clustering with labeling but it's my
understanding the only issue that is concerned with hierarchical clustering
is currently not being actively attended to.

Perhaps there's a non-map reduce technique in Lucene, i'll look at it as
well. But it would be nice if Mahout had it as we are pretty much all-around
a MapReduce shop.

Thank you very much.
