Description

Hello,

when running the example under https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/partial-implementation.html with the recommended data sets several issues occur.
First: ARFF files seem no longer to be supported, I've been using the UCI format as recommended here (https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/breiman-example.html). Using ARFF files, Mahout quits when creating the description file (wrong number of attributes in the string), using UCI format it works.

The main error happends during the BuildForest step (I could not test TestForest, due to missing tree).
Running:
$MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout org.apache.mahout.classifier.df.mapreduce.BuildForest -Dmapred.max.split.size=1874231 -d convertedData/data.data -ds KDDTrain+.info -sl 5 -p -t 100 -o nsl-forest.

I tested different split.size values. 1874231, 187423, 18742 give the following error. 1874 does not finish on my machine (Dual Core MacBook Pro 2009, 8 Gb, SSD).

It quits after a while (map is almost done) with the following message:
