Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-668:
------------------------------------

Contributions without user demand isn't necessarily a good thing.

I still have some qualms about this code fitting in and about performance.

See also https://github.com/tdunning/knn for a very different take on this 
problem that focuses on query performance, but which ignores the issues of 
flexibility of metric.
