Ankur commented on MAHOUT-317:
------------------------------

You can also make some gains by using a simple Combiner to reduce the amount on 
ngrams and subgrams from the mappers. The OutputValueGroupingComparator is not 
applied in the map-phase so Combiner gets all the values for a particular 
ngrams/subgram. Package o.a.m.cf.taste.hadoop.cooccurence has a Bigram class 
that implements binary comparison.

> The collocation code currently uses maps in the CollocCombiner and 
> CollocReducer to perform frequency calculations which can cause the process 
> to exceed the heap space if a large number of ngrams exist for any given 
> subgram.
> Convert the code to use a composite key / secondary sort to avoid the need 
> for in-memory map for frequency calculations.
