Hi Benson,

Apologies for my latest inactivity on this -- urgent family matters in
the form of a 60cm little newborn...

Just to share some of my thoughts on the collections stuff. I will
still wait for a numbered release of Mahout with colt and collections
in -- we need this to proceed with Carrot2 release, which in turn
affects Solr and Nutch. In the meanwhile, we will publish HPPC as a
"labs" project from Carrot Search. I'd love to contribute this stuff
to Mahout and when we do this at some point, we'll just redirect from
our labs site to Mahout.

There is also the matter of unification of the collections code --
Sean's implementation of open hash map has some interesting code
snippets that I planned to integrate with HPPC first, for example.
This way we could indeed make the a single collections library for all
of Mahout.
