Lance Norskog commented on MAHOUT-563:
--------------------------------------

The estimator samples 20 points and tries to guess T1/T2 from that subset. Yes, "all distances" is not a scalable technique.

> Hunting for T1/T2 values that make an interesting Canopy set is a singularly unsatisfying task. This class estimates T1 and T2 numbers given the original set.
