Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-165:
----------------------------------

Regarding @deprecated: sounds a little aggressive to me, but not against it.

I also like the idea of getting it donated to Apache, since it is cleanest and 
consistent with the intent here -- to move it forward in an Apache project.

But failing that, its license still allows us to include, modify, distribute 
the code. We'd have to still note its copyright and license, of course. So it's 
not a blocker.

> 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.
