These are synonyms.  The reason for having two words is that features looks
more at the data while the word predictors looks more at what the feature
is doing in the model and is making a contrast with the phrase "target
variable".

Supervised learning has a sad abundance of redundant terminology.  Levels,
categories, models and so on come from different communities building the
same functionality independently with their own slant on how it should be
communicated.

How many features are you talking about having?  Also, which parts of
mahout and which version are you trying to use?
