Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-616:
------------------------------------
Yes.
And pushing the test for non null measure down into the cluster seems like a
good idea. That could be done using a configure method on the cluster
that calls the configure method on the measure. The measure can probably even
be guaranteed to be non-null if we think about things right.

> When Dirichlet clustering is run with DistanceMeasureClusterDistribution and
> MahalanobisDistanceMeasure the configure method of the distance measure is
