[jira] [Commented] (MAHOUT-616) Cannot use MahalanobisDistanceMeasure with Dirichlet clustering

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-616?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13009049#comment-13009049 ] 

Vasil Vasilev commented on MAHOUT-616:
--------------------------------------

Only the config method in DistanceMeasureCluster calls getMeasure().configure(job);

> When Dirichlet clustering is run with DistanceMeasureClusterDistribution and MahalanobisDistanceMeasure the configure method of the distance measure is not called. In this way the configuration data cannot be supplied to the distance measure. In addition there is a bug in the MahalanobisDistanceMeasure that does not take into account the matrix class
