>
> If you run bin/mahout without arguments, an error is correctly displayed
> about lack of an argument. The part that displays the error is actually
> within Hadoop code. In some versions of Hadoop, in the error case, it will
> quit the JVM with System.exit(). In others, it does not.
> In the calling code in MahoutDriver, in this error case, the main() method
> does not actually return. So, for versions where Hadoop code doesn't
> immediately exit the JVM, execution continues. This yields another exception.
> It's pretty harmless but ugly.
> Attached is a one-line fix, to return from main() in the error case, which is
> more correct to begin with.
