Dmitriy Lyubimov commented on MAHOUT-1532:
------------------------------------------

sure. I actually kind of wanted to start on this myself a few times (e.g. it is 
hugely useful in weighted als) but every time ended using our chol() stuff, 
which is just a matter of sugar in this case. But yes this is hugely coherent 
with our direction. Are you planning to use chol() for this or something else? 

I think how people are doing it in major oos projects is by piggy-backing on UL 
decomposition, which is probably the cheapest way o fdoing this. but we don't 
have it so i guess it is ok to wrap it into a Cholesky or even qr.
