Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-637:
----------------------------------
Charset.forName() won't throw a (checked) exception versus some other similar
older methods. But yeah the Guava helper class there is shorter and avoids
typos ("UFT-8"), and if it's going to throw an error will do so much earlier. I
think this import/dependency earns its keep.
I can easily search-and-replace for this now or later.

> 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.
