Sebastian Schelter commented on MAHOUT-1508:
--------------------------------------------

Dmitriy, I agree with your comment in general. I'd like to propose a few minor 
immediate changes to help me do efficient summation of outer product matrices 
in MAHOUT-1464 :

 * _matrixLike()_ in our sparse vectors should return a _SparseMatrix_ not 
return a _SparseRowMatrix_ as its mainly used for outer products which produce 
many zero rows
 * _MatrixWritable_ should preserve the type of sparse matrix (currently it 
always deserializes as _SparseRowMatrix_)
 * provide an optimized assign for addition in _SparseMatrix_

> I'm currently working with the new Scala DSL and running into a problem with 
> SparseMatrix and SparseRowMatrix.
> The problem is that they don't implement a specialized assign(Matrix other, 
> DoubleDoubleFunction f) function, but use the implementation from 
> AbstractMatrix which loops through all (!) possible entries. 
> We have to fix this asap.
