Ok (2) part of the problem is that this is a fix to taste recommender. There are two problems with this: first, it is mrlegacy component, and nobody these days cares so much maintaining these. Second, the author of this code, who would be qualified to assess the validity of the fix, has not come forward, which kind of goes back to the first point
To answer your further question re:scala/java: yes, with exception of math module, which is the only non-deprecated module containing any java, i think it is fair to say the rest of non-deprecated stuff modules are Scala only (or almost only, i think h20 has some java code mixed in).
