Deneche A. Hakim commented on MAHOUT-145:
-----------------------------------------

bq. What really bugs me is that it is worse with few maps. Am I interpreting 
this correctly when I say that splitting the data in half and building 
independent forests increases OOB errors by a factor of 1000? How could that 
possibly be?

Only one possible explanation: a BUG. I already have an idea where I can find 
it...

> This implementation is based on a suggestion by Ted:
> "modify the original algorithm to build multiple trees for different portions 
> of the data. That loses some of the solidity of the original method, but 
> could actually do better if the splits exposed non-stationary behavior."
