Sebastian Schelter commented on MAHOUT-389:
-------------------------------------------

I'm glad you like it, refactor it as you wish! 

This patch should make it possible for mahout users to use their own customized 
similarity implementation for the distributed computation

> org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.impl.similarity.UncenteredCosineSimilarity only 
> computes the cosine distance between those components of the vectors where 
> both vectors have a value greater zero.
> This is inconsistent with the definition of the cosine (correct me if I'm 
> wrong) and is inconsistent with the distributed cosine similarity computation.
