Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-637:
------------------------------------
Regarding lines like this:
{code}
items.add(new String(data, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
{code}
We have a dependency on guava, I think. It would allow
{code}
items.add(new String(data, Charsets.UTF8));
{code}
The benefit is that no exception has to be propagated or caught.

> As discussed on the mailing list, seems desirable to remove the direct
> dependence on HBase for now. The integration only exists for the Naive Bayes
> Classifier, and is based on an old version. A more comprehensive strategy for
> integrating with data sources, such as via Gora, is viewed as a desirable
> goal for later. This is a step in that direction.
