Sean Owen resolved MAHOUT-194.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Sean Owen

I agree it's a little annoying, but does the output to standard out actually 
harm anything?

As you say, it's not an issue with Mahout. A fork is possible, but merely to 
adjust this, seems like overkill to me. I don't mind filing a request with 
Uncommons Math.

Yes the whole project uses the Mersenne twister PRNG.

I'm tentatively closing this, as a Mahout issue, for the reasons above.

> Some parts of Mahout Taste use the Uncommons Maths Mersenne Twister RNG that 
> writes to System.out.
> While the problem really is in Uncommons Maths (no library should ever print 
> to System.out), it unfortunately affects users of Taste.
> Probably needs to be fixed upstream.  If that is not possible, using a forked 
> version might be considered (given that it's under Apache License this should 
> be possible).
> I don't know if other parts of Mahout are affected also.
