Sean Owen resolved MAHOUT-253.
------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Am I right that this is a WontFix / AlreadyDidSomethingSimilar? we have all
those Colt classes for a similar purpose. Reopen if I'm wrong.

> A proposal for template-driven collections library (lists, sets, maps,
> deques), with specializations for Java primitive types to save memory and
> increase performance. The "templates" are regular Java classes written with
> generics and certain "intrinsics", that is blocks replaceable by a
> regexp-preprocessor. This lets one write the code once, immediately test it
> (tests are also templates) and generate primitive versions from a single
> source.
> An additional interesting part is the benchmarking subsystem written on top
> of JUnit ;)
> There are major differences from the Java Collections API, most notably no
> interfaces and interface-compatible views over sub-collections or key/value
> sets. These classes also expose their internal implementation (buffers,
> addressing, etc.) so that the code can be optimized for a particular use case.
> These motivations are further discussed here, together with an API overview.
> http://www.carrot-search.com/download/hppc/index.html
> I am curious what you think about it. If folks like it, Carrot Search will
> donate the code to Mahout (or Apache Commons-?) and will maintain it (because
> we plan to use it in our internal projects anyway).
