[jira] [Commented] (MAHOUT-1030) Regression: Clustered Points
Should be WeightedPropertyVectorWritable not WeightedVectorWritable
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1030?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13404650#comment-13404650 ]
Lance Norskog commented on MAHOUT-1030:
---------------------------------------
bq. If this fixes the regression adequately, it introduces another incompatibility with AbstractVectorClassifier's expectation of normalized results.
I have not used this code, but have a general request: it is hard to describe the difficulty of approaching this kind of code from outside. Inconsistency makes it that much more frustrating.

> Looks like this won't make it into this build. Pretty widespread impact on code and tests and I don't know which properties were implemented in the old version. I will create a JIRA and post my interim results.

This means that the distance from the centroid is no longer stored here? Why? I hope I'm wrong because that is not a welcome change. How is one to order clustered docs by distance from cluster centroid?
