The clause for military use in HEP is unacceptable, unfortunately.  There is no 
way we could enforce that.  If we could use Colt w/o HEP, then we could use 
Colt.  Perhaps there is just a class or two from Colt that is ASL licensed that 
we can copy over and properly attribute and that doesn't have any dependencies 
on HEP?

> In SparseVector, we need primitives hash map for index and values. The 
> present implementation of this hash map is not as efficient as some of the 
> other implementations in non-Apache projects. 
> In an experiment, I found that, for get/set operations, the primitive hash of 
>  Colt performance an order of magnitude better than OrderedIntDoubleMapping. 
> For iteration it is 2x slower, though. 
> Using Colt in Sparsevector improved performance of canopy generation. For an 
> experimental dataset, the current implementation takes 50 minutes. Using 
> Colt, reduces this duration to 19-20 minutes. That's 60% reduction in the 
> delay.
