Actually the rows in `IndexedRowMatrix` can be sparse or dense. Choose which one, SparkMatrix-backed or DenseMartix-backed, is totally depending on the use case. Looks like `toBlockMatrixDense` is already a non-small function. Merging it with current `toBlockMatrix` might not a good idea. I'd keep it as it's now.
