"calculated the mean distance between all the pairs of vectors"
This can be a very costly operation if the dataset is reasonably large.

In my project of text clustering I used the Euclidean distance as
measurement method. I wrote a method which calculated the mean distance
between all the pairs of vectors (documents) and used this mean as T2, and
for T1 I used mean*2. This approach worked really good for me, giving
a reasonably
number of clusters in various corpus.

I am trying to run canopy clustering on vectors extracted from lucene
index. I want to use CosineDistanceMeasure. How do I know what
appropriate values to use for t1 and t2 distance threshold? I would assume
that Cosine distance measure would return "distances" as a range from 0.0
to 1.0 but that seems not the case, so how do I know what the potential
distance ranges are to pick t1 and t2 (other than many trial and errors)?
