Drew Farris commented on MAHOUT-320:
------------------------------------
The big win here is sortability of the binary form. I'm not certain that
IntPairWritables that used variable length encoding would be inherently
sortable without converting them back to ints.
> Modify IntPairWritable in LDA implementation to be binary comparable to
> improve performance.

> Per discussion with Robin, modifying o.a.m.clustering.lda.IntPairWritable to
> be binary comparable will improve the performance of the comparison
> operations during a sort because no marshaling will need to occur to compare
> IntPairWritable instances.
