>
> DRMs get blockified into SparseRowMatrix instances if the density is low. But
> SRM inherits the implementation of method like "assign" from AbstractMatrix,
> which uses nest for loops to traverse rows. For multiplying 2 matrices that
> are extremely sparse, the kind if data you see in collaborative filtering,
> this is extremely wasteful of execution time. Better to use a sparse vector's
> iterateNonZero Iterator for some function types.
