Jake Mannix commented on MAHOUT-362:
------------------------------------

It would be really nice if this code could be extend outside of the realm of 
Taste. This is a very general sparse matrix operation, and should probably live 
in the core o.a.m.math.hadoop package, operating on general sparse vectors.  

I can adapt it to that package after it's committed though, no need to hold it 
up on account of "insufficient generality" :)

> Provides a map/reduce job to precompute the pairwise cosine similarities 
> between the item vectors of the user-item-matrix.  
> The code uses a slightly modified version of the algorithm suggested in 
> "Elsayed et al: Pairwise Document Similarity in Large Collections with 
> MapReduce"
