Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-65: ----------------------------------- {noformat} public void testFour() throws IOException { int[] indexes = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }; double[] values = { 1.111, 2.222, 3.333, 4.444, 5.555, 6.666, 7.777, 8.888, 9.999 }; TestVector obj = new TestVector(indexes, values); OutputStream stm = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(stm); out.writeObject(obj); String json = stm.toString(); System.out.println("4 " + json.length() + " = " + json); } {noformat} This looks like you are serializing this object to bytes and then converting those bytes to characters and printing them. The name of the string is json, but I don't think the contents are anything like that. What did you find surprising here? > Add Element Labels to Vectors and Matrices > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAHOUT-65 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-65 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Matrix > Affects Versions: 0.1 > Reporter: Jeff Eastman > Assignee: Jeff Eastman > Attachments: MAHOUT-65-name.patch, MAHOUT-65-name.patch, > MAHOUT-65-name.patch, MAHOUT-65.patch, MAHOUT-65b.patch, MAHOUT-65c.patch, > MAHOUT-65d.patch > > > Many applications can benefit by accessing elements in vectors and matrices > using String labels in addition to numeric indices.
