Ah, yeah, true. Not sure why that slipped my mind. Probably had Solr
on the brain.

We are starting to get a couple of places where users can insert

in.
Solr had this problem and solved it through a custom class loader
and the
Solr Home capability. Essentially, Solr defines a HOME which has a
lib dir
in it. When someone wants to put their own custom code into Solr
they
merely have to jar up their code and drop it in the lib directory
and then
tell Solr about it.
Any thoughts on grabbing this functionality (SolrResourceLoader) and
modifying it for Mahout for some of these things? Not sure how it
would
play out for things running in Hadoop, but for both Taste and the
utility
functions it seems like a win.
