Jeff Eastman commented on MAHOUT-931:
-------------------------------------
Renaming existing entities may be appropriate, but that ought to be done as a
separate, independent and agreed-upon change. Otherwise we do not have a
consistent vocabulary to discuss the functionality issues. Can we hold off on
renaming until we get a bit more of the semantics defined?
I tend to agree that implementing a set of algorithm-specific clustering policy
objects will enable many (not all) of the current implementations to be
re-implemented with the ClusterClassifier/Iterator. I think we will need to
preserve the existing driver classes which support CLI argument selection in
their run() methods but that the buildClusters methods would be revamped to use
the new implementation. It does seem like these policy objects need to
encapsulate the relevant CLI arguments so we are in synch there.
The clusterPoints methods can also be re-implemented using the new clustering
postprocessor in MAHOUT-929.
