Deneche A. Hakim commented on MAHOUT-56:
----------------------------------------

The whole point of the CDGA example is to show how to use Mahout to run a 
Genetic Algorithm on a very large dataset, cause this is what Map-Reduce is 
about : large and distributed data.

Now, it wont harm my program to be able to work with in-memory datasets, and 
I'll be more than happy to implement (a) as soon as there is a "stable" 
solution for (b) and (c).

I have one question about in-memory datasets : how to pass them to the mappers 
? we can't use the job input if the dataset is in-memory ? so I assume it is 
passed as a job parameter, is it ?
