> The internal storage of ALS uses many small objects, which increases the GC 
> pressure and makes ALS difficult to scale to very large scale, e.g., 50 
> billion ratings. In such cases, the full GC may take more than 10 minutes to 
> finish. That is longer than the default heartbeat timeout and hence executors 
> will be removed under default settings.
> We can use primitive arrays to reduce the number of objects significantly. 
> This requires big change to the ALS implementation.
