Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-145:
------------------------------------


So at this point, it seems that you 

- have demonstrated that partitioning works to produce a usable forest because 
your errors on the partitioned forest seem similar

- have demonstrated substantial speedup for large numbers of trees

Is this correct?

> 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."
