I'm very new to Mahout and trying to learn starting with the classification
algorithms since I have an application for it. I've got the book "Mahout in
Action" and am working through chapter 14. This book is excellent, but I
have to say the Mahout documentation has some real shortcomings. Especially
for developers wanting to use Mahout from a Java program. Is there any
effort underway to improve this so that newbies like me would have an
easier time figuring out how to use what looks like a great library?

One specific example I am trying to find is where the class
org.apache.mahout.math.RandomAccessSparseVector is? It is used quite a bit
in this book, yet I can't seem to find the class anywhere. The javadocs for
0.6 don't show that class (or several others that are referenced in the
book). Can you help me understand where those classes are of if they have
been replaced with others already please point me at the replacements.

Thanks,

Dave
