Suneel Marthi commented on MAHOUT-1416:
---------------------------------------

Looking at this patch, wouldn't it suffice to change the access of the existing 

{Code}

private static DecisionForest read(DataInput dataInput) throws IOException ;

{Code}

to make it "public" for what you are trying to achieve.

> There is a use case I encounter in which a random forest model is passed to remote server over a REST API and is used for scoring the incoming requests in there. 
> In such a scenario it is highly inefficient to write the byte buffer received at the remote server on the filesystem and then use Mahout APIs to load the forest.  
> We should be able to load the forest from the byte buffer received. This is useful in non-map-reduce usecases of classification like that mentioned above.
