Grant Ingersoll resolved MAHOUT-1122.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

It appears to me that it is printing the usage and then exiting.

> We have seen an issue when running mahout on the CLI where if you do not include required arguments, the specified class still gets executed to completion, but Mahout prints a usage statement too, which is confusing.  If a required argument is missed, print usage and exit.
> Here is the log:
