Ah right, should have RTFM. Thanks! When you say "beyond what's needed"
were you commenting on the PR, or on the docs? Just checking whether you meant
you wanted to discuss the change more.
> Tests can be made more robust to pass in Java 8
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAHOUT-1610
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1610
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Integration
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Environment: Java 1.8.0_11 OS X 10.9.4
> Reporter: Sean Owen
> Assignee: Sean Owen
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: java8, tests
>
> Right now, several tests don't seem to pass when run with Java 8 (at least on
> Java 8). The failures are benign, and just due to tests looking for
> too-specific values or expecting things like a certain ordering of hashmaps.
> The tests can easily be made to pass both Java 8 and Java 6/7 at the same
> time by either relaxing the tests in a principled way, or accepting either
> output of two equally valid ones as correct.
> (There's also one curious compilation failure in Java 8, related to generics.
> It is fixable by changing to a more explicit declaration that should be
> equivalent. It should be entirely equivalent at compile time, and of course,
> at run time. I am not sure it's not just a javac bug, but, might as well work
> around when it's so easy.)
