Sean Owen commented on SPARK-6407:
----------------------------------

ALS doesn't use gradient descent, at least not enough in the sense that these 
linear models do that you could reuse the implementation. I am accustomed to 
fold-in for approximate streaming updates to an ALS model, but yes it does kind 
of need to mutate some RDD-based data structured efficiently like an 
IndexedRDD. Although the idea is simple I also don't know of good theoretical 
approaches and have just made up reasonable heuristics in the past.

> Like MLLib's ALS implementation for recommendation, and applying to streaming.
> Similar to streaming linear regression, logistic regression, could we apply 
> gradient updates to batches of data and reuse existing MLLib implementation?
