Dan Filimon commented on MAHOUT-1116:
-------------------------------------

I agree that the compareTo() implementation itself is strange in that it also 
does the element by element comparison of the vectors.
Perhaps there should be a different issue for the refactoring of the comparator 
code.

I think it's fair to decouple the equals() from the compareTo() since that's a 
well defined function.

> WeightedVectors [1] implement compareTo but not equals so in cases where just 
> the weights or the indices differ, despire compareTo returning 0, equals 
> returns false.
