Great to see you on here, Anthony! Hey the-rest-of-you! You should definitely check out his lsa4solr code, it's mostly very nice thin Clojure wrappers around the DistributedRowMatrix and related code, which allows for using Clojure's REPL to play interactively with the matrix (which in itself is awesome, beyond integration with Lucene or Solr).
We should make a new maven submodule for Clojure contributions, and can make some of Anthony's code the base of it. Are any of us Clojure users, who could help Anthony get his git repo (it's already Apache Licensed) integrated into our build framework and make a patch so we can start working with it? -jake (sorry for giving you the wrong list address at first!)
