I've created a Jira - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1343. The jira has example output and a patch. I needed JSON output from clusterdump so I added a JSON output format option, a JsonClusterWriter class and unittest.
Thoughts? Concerns? My gh fork is here: https://github.com/telvis07/mahout/tree/mahout_clusterdump_json. Thanks. - Telvis Calhoun
