There is no compile-time dependency in Apache Mahout on MySQL Connector/J. If you use the driver classes directly in your project, you need to add a dependency on those libraries. That's more an issue for your project. You can and should avoid compiling against those drivers directly as you usually don't need to. In an enterprise (Java) app, the container manages the drivers themselves and the calling code (Mahout) operates in terms of a generic DataSource it looks up from JNDI. It doesn't need to depend on the driver directly.
