Jeff Eastman updated MAHOUT-1030:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.8
I'm moving this to 0.8 to allow for more discussion on whether or not it needs
to be implemented at all. Given that the existing pdf weights allow for
distance to be computed I don't view it as a showstopper for 0.7.
I committed the patch to ClusterDumperWriter after the release bits were cut
but, since it has not presented itself to date and since clustering no longer
produces WeightedPropertyVectorWritables, I don't view it as a showstopper for
0.7 either.
