Yes, you can call setPreference() on FileDataModel or GenericDataModel now. These methods have caveats -- the change is lost in FileDataModel once a file reloads. The operation is a little slow, and most importantly not really thread-safe, so you should synchronize.
Calling refresh() from the Recommender updates everything -- data model, and, the recommender to use the new data. It will be slow for slope one so do it infrequently. Pass 'null' as an argument.
