Description
Other projects (and developers) who want to interact with Mahout file-formats currently need to depend on mahout-core, which is big. It would be nice if we had a slim and trim mahout dependency which just has code necessary to work with our Writables.
In particular, this would allow other projects which Mahout would possibly like to depend on (like Giraph) to depend on just a part of Mahout (ie. file format stuff) without introducing nasty circular dependencies.
