> MLlib linear algebra provides methods for constructing Vectors and Matrices 
> and for accessing the vector/matrix data.  There are currently 2 types of 
> these constructors and accessors:
> * light: avoid data copy and validation, useful for converting between MLlib 
> types and numpy, Breeze, etc.
> * heavy: copy or validate data, useful for constructing MLlib types from user 
> inputs
> MLlib is not very consistent about these and does not document which ops are 
> light vs. heavy.  This JIRA is for:
> * First, discussing which ops should be light vs heavy to choose a consistent 
> API
> * Next, creating subtasks for Scala and Python for updating the 
> implementations and clarifying the docs
