Hey Xiangrui, a suggestion on the naming. The class names with RDDMatrix in
them look a bit scary, so I'd suggest we instead do the following:
* Rename the linalg.rdd package to linalg.distributed
* Rename RDDMatrix to DistributedMatrix
* Rename its subclasses to just RowMatrix, IndexedRowMatrix, etc.
There's a small chance that people will think these are subclasses of the
local Matrix, but seeing an import with "distributed" in it should help, and
the names themselves will be easier to deal with.
If you do this, make sure to rename the converter methods (e.g.
toRowRDDMatrix) as well.
