> The VectorDistanceSimilarityJob is a fantastic tool, but poses the risk of 
> creating terabytes of output of dubious value. For example, I have ~10K seed 
> vectors and millions of vectors to compute the similarity between so I would 
> like to add an optional parameter to this job to specify a maximum distance 
> threshold that prevents any distances above this value from being written to 
> the output. The default would be 1.0d so no filtering is applied which 
> ensures backwards compatibility, but if supplied, only rows where the 
> distance is less than the threshold would be output from the mapper. This can 
> help reduce the storage requirements of the output immensely. Probably name 
> the parameter something like: noOutputIfDistanceGreaterThan
