Richard Tomsett commented on MAHOUT-99:
---------------------------------------

I tried just reverting back to SequenceFiles in the test and KMeansUtil classes 
but couldn't get the test to complete correctly - must admit I didn't work on 
it too long as it was late... I'm not sure quite what the problem was, but I 
think it was just that I hadn't found all the relevant changes that needed to 
be made. I guess if you've found it in the Canopy class (I take it that was 
modified in this patch NOT to output SequenceFiles as well) that would explain 
it :)

> Improved the speed of KMeans by passing only cluster ID from mapper to 
> reducer. Previously, whole Cluster Info as formatted s`tring was being sent.
> Also removed the implicit assumption of Combiner runs only once approach and 
> the code is modified accordingly so that it won't create a bug when combiner 
> runs zero or more than once.
