Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-510:
------------------------------------
I think that this patch looks pretty reasonable. It affects a lot of code that
Jeff has committed so that he should comment. The Naive Bayes code is hit less
so, but it would be good to hear from Robin on that side.
A key thing to remember is that asFormatString won't work on large objects
anyway. It has occasionally been useful to assist with equality checks, but
that is a small justification. As far as the Naive Bayes stuff is concerned,
the serialized form hasn't been sufficient to fully re-instantiate a usable
model, so it is hard to see what the point is.

> At the moment this is tracking a broader concern: to standardize as much as
> possible how we approach serialization. The long-term goal is notionally to
> use the following "encodings" as the input/output of Mahout stuff, and by
> extension, probably internally too.

> - Vector Writable
> - (maybe Avro)

> - Serializable
> - GSON / JSON
