Sean Owen updated MAHOUT-959:
-----------------------------

       Resolution: Not A Problem
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.7)
                       (was: 0.6)
         Assignee: Sean Owen  (was: Dmitriy Lyubimov)
           Status: Resolved  (was: Patch Available)

I wrote VectorWritable so I can explain it. 

I disagree with the issue report since readVector() does read the flag and does 
use it to read floats or doubles correctly.

writesLaxPrecision is a flag that is used for writing only. It tells the 
wrapper whether to use floats or doubles when writing, since this is not a 
property of the Vector implementation itself (all use doubles).
                
> VectorWritable does not preserve the laxPrecision flag

> When reading a vector, VectorWritable uses the laxPrecision flag to read with

> written back.
