Jeff Eastman commented on MAHOUT-6:
-----------------------------------
Well, here's a story that suggests using checked exceptions would be valuable:
User is processing large volumes of vector data that contain some encoding
errors causing some input vectors to be too small. User wishes to detect these
conditions in order to be able to omit the records without aborting the
computation.

> We need matrices for Mahout.
> An initial set of basic requirements includes:
> a) sparse and dense support are required
> b) row and column labels are important
> c) serialization for hadoop use is required
> d) reasonable floating point performance is required, but awesome FP is not
> e) the API should be simple enough to understand
> f) it should be easy to carve out sub-matrices for sending to different
> reducers
> g) a reasonable set of matrix operations should be supported, these should
> eventually include:
> simple matrix-matrix and matrix-vector and matrix-scalar linear algebra
> operations, A B, A + B, A v, A + x, v + x, u + v, dot(u, v)
> row and column sums
> generalized level 2 and 3 BLAS primitives, alpha A B + beta C and A u +
> beta v
> h) easy and efficient iteration constructs, especially for sparse matrices
> i) easy to extend with new implementations
