Sean Owen commented on SPARK-6442:
----------------------------------

[~mengxr] for Commons Math, and point #2: actually they decided to un-deprecate 
the sparse implementations in 3.3 onwards, and keep supporting them: 
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/changes-report.html I think it's 
a good option.

But I also am not sure why *Spark* has to decide this for users. Spark can do 
whatever it likes internally; apps can do whatever they like externally; both 
can and should use a library. From an API perspective, all that's needed is a 
representation of the data that thunks easily into other libraries, rather than 
provide a library of functions again.

>
> MLlib's local linear algebra package doesn't have any support for any type of 
> matrix operations. With 1.5, we wish to add support to a complete package of 
> optimized linear algebra operations for Scala/Java users.
> The main goal is to support lazy operations so that element-wise can be 
> implemented in a single for-loop, and complex operations can be interfaced 
> through BLAS. 
> The design doc: http://goo.gl/sf5LCE
