OK, I’m spending more time on this than I have to spare. The test class extends 
MahoutLocalContext, which provides an implicit Spark context. I haven’t found a 
way to test parallel execution of cooccurrence without it. So far the only 
obvious option is to put cf into math-scala but the tests would have to remain 
in spark and that seems like trouble so I’d rather not do that.

I suspect as more math-scala consuming algos get implemented this issue will 
proliferate. We will have implementations that do not require Spark but tests 
that do. We could create a new sub-project that allows for this I suppose but a 
new sub-project will require changes to SparkEngine and mahout’s script.

If someone (Anand?) wants to offer a PR with some way around this I’d be happy 
to integrate.

Go ahead and speak for me as well here!

I think isolating the dependencies is crucial for platform nimbleness
(nimbility?)
