Thanks Gael. My thinking was to implement "Basic LSH with basic data
structures" and then spend some of the time working on seeing if moderate
improvements (i.e. a more complex data structure) can deliver benefits.
This way, we get the key deliverable, and spend some time trying to see if
we can do better.

I'd also like to see scalability added to the evaluation criteria!
