Sean Owen updated MAHOUT-475:
-----------------------------

        Status: Resolved  (was: Patch Available)
      Assignee: Sean Owen
    Resolution: Not A Problem

People can 'correct' me here but conceptually Mappers and Reducers are single 
threaded. It's up to a Hadoop cluster to run multiple workers per machine to 
take advantage of more cores and parallelism.

> Replace Mapper with  MultithreadedMapper  to run job pairwiseSimilarity
