Brian Dolan commented on MADLIB-1159:
-------------------------------------
Thanks, Frank! I was suggesting this should go into a "Tutorials" section or
something as it is a rather common use case. The current examples assume you
have already enumerated the features and have arrays.
> Provide examples for common sparse matrix cases

> A fairly common table structure is of the form `key1, key2, value` like a
> triples in a graph. These are often not normalized.
> It would be useful to provide an example of transforming this class of tables
> into a sparse matrix. Perhaps an example dataset could be a term-document
> matrix.
> TABLE doc_term;
> document, term, freq
> "do androids dream of electric sheep", "rachel", 75
> "do androids dream of electric sheep", "andy", 56
> "do androids dream of electric sheep", "hands", 128
> "da vinci code book review", "vapid",1326
> "da vinci code book review", "uninspired",265

> Into a sparse matrix table of documents by features.
