[jira] [Updated] (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:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Musselman updated MAHOUT-1030:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: MAHOUT-1030.patch

Using WeightedPropertyVectorWritable in place of WeightedVectorWritable where it's used for clustering.

Got both TestKmeansClustering and ClusterClassificationDriverTest passing; let me know if I've missed something.

The plan is to ship this regression fix in 0.9 and do the more expansive refactoring for 1.0.

> 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?
