Jeff Eastman commented on MAHOUT-825:
-------------------------------------
Ok, as a compromise, if you remove the generation stuff I can support
implementation of an experimental, radius-based, outlier filter in Canopy
classification. If it seems useful after some period of evaluation, then we can
generalize it and extend it to the other clustering classification steps. With
at patch of that nature, I could become an advocate.

> While finding closest canopy, there is no check to ensure that it returns
> canopies which are within distance t1 from the point. This results in
> incorrect result i.e. Points outside t1 are grouped in canopies.
