Raphael Cendrillon commented on MAHOUT-904:
-------------------------------------------

At the moment this is written only to handle vectors. I'm having an issue 
extending this to cover any record type. One option is to use a GenericWritable 
however this could be wasteful since the classname is stored with every record. 
Another approach could be to use generics, however I can't seem to use generics 
in setMapOutputKeyClass(). I'd like to do something like this:

  job.setMapOutputKeyClass(PairWritable<IntWritable,VectorWritable>.class);

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

> For some learning tasks, we need the input to be randomized (SGD) instead of 
> blocks of labels all at once.  SplitInput is a useful tool for setting up 
> train/test files but it currently doesn't support randomizing the input.
