Andrey Davydov commented on MAHOUT-1130:
----------------------------------------
I found this bug while I worked with 6500 vectors sample and I want to generate
30 initial clusters. I made more then 50 experiments. Every time all results
was with id more then 5000.
I can investigate more, but only on new year vacations (in Russia we have free
week in the beginig of year). Also I can implement unit test and make some
calculus to find way to achive best distribution of clusters.

> There is following code in line 101:
> } else if (random.nextInt(currentSize + 1) != 0) { // with
> chance 1/(currentSize+1) pick new element
> but it actually means pick new element with chance currentSize/(currentSize+1)
> so generator takes initial centers from the end of source data file.
> It seems that chance of replace vector in output set should decrease with
> number of processed input vectors
