  * Interface for a mining algorithm that can use a previously
  * constructed mining model and update it using new data. <p>
  *
  * For doing this, the mining model must be passed to the
  * algorithm using the setMiningModel method (if the model is
  * no more available in the algorithm) and the mining algorithm
  * must be switched in the update mode using the method setUpdateMode.
  * The new data is passed via the usual setMiningInputStream method.
  * Then when the buildModel method of the mining algorithm is called,
  * it tries to improve the mining model using the new data.
  * When the update mode is switched off, the buildModel
  * method again constructs the whole mining model from
  * scratch. <p>
