- the pretty-printing rules are not those specified by ASF: the Java conventions with tabs replaced by 2 spaces vs. 4 spaces.

Just to be clear, these are conventions we (Mahout/Lucene) adopt, not necessarily ASF policy. We can always remove/clean up before committing. The big thing about formatting is that we should try to keep it clean going in, but we shouldn't necessarily change it once it is in.
