Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-65:
---------------------------------------

JSON is fine for In and Out of Mahout, IMO, but for internal use (i.e. between 
mappers/reducers, etc.) a binary protocol makes more sense.  For now, we can 
likely live with JSON, but as others have stated, Thrift, PB, Avro, et. al. are 
really designed for this kind of thing

At any rate, we probably should take this discussion to a separate thread, as 
it has nothing to do with the thread subject.

> Many applications can benefit by accessing elements in vectors and matrices 
> using String labels in addition to numeric indices. Investigate adding such a 
> capability.
