Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-344:
----------------------------------

I'm ready to commit after adjusting the code for project code style. However 
there are two outstanding issues IMHO:

Catching OutOfMemoryError -- this looks bad. Is it really possible to proceed 
in this case versus just crashing?
Random -- java.util.Random is used directly and hard-coded to a seed. Should it 
not use an un-seeded RNG? and use RandomUtils.getRandom() in particular so that 
tests are repeatable? But then the tests fail for me.

Don't need a new patch, perhaps just targeted advice on how we might adjust for 
these as necessary.

> Minhash clustering performs probabilistic dimension reduction of high 
> dimensional data. The essence of the technique is to hash each item using 
> multiple independent hash functions such that the probability of collision of 
> similar items is higher. Multiple such hash tables can then be constructed  
> to answer near neighbor type of queries efficiently.
