Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-480:
----------------------------------

I think this is a fairly heroic effort to use Preconditions across the board. 
My concern had been about getting into a half-way state where Preconditions was 
used for some but not all such checking. It's the same sort of issue we'd 
discussed any number of times about, say, half-using 3 logging systems is worse 
than none at all, or same for 3 math libraries.

I find this less of an issue here -- not all arg checking can or must be done 
with Preconditions. We have no existing consistent system to compete with.

And, it looks largely like mahout-core is updated. mahout-examples and 
mahout-utils are not it seems. I could take that on as well as try to find more 
instances where it can be used in mahout-core.

mahout-math, perhaps we should not introduce the dependency into.
