At the moment, I don't think that this is the case since the `collect`
method is painfully slow.
> Stochastic gradient descent optimizer for ML library
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-1807
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1807
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Machine Learning Library
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Theodore Vasiloudis
> Labels: ML
>
> Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is a widely used optimization technique in
> different ML algorithms. Thus, it would be helpful to provide a generalized
> SGD implementation which can be instantiated with the respective gradient
> computation. Such a building block would make the development of future
> algorithms easier.
