So how are people working around this without patching 0.7?  Downgrading to
0.6?

We're on a cluster where we don't have admin rights to patch Mahout.

Our dumb idea now is to hash the concatenated values of each vector and
pair that up with our original ids, then run another process on the points
results to hash the results, then join up on hash value to pull id together
with cluster #.

Anyone have a nicer solution to this at hand?
