https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/4448
rewrite netlib-java/breeze docs
I am the author of netlib-java and I found this documentation to be out of
date. Some main points:
1. Breeze has not depended on jBLAS for some time
2. netlib-java provides a pure JVM implementation
3. The licensing issue is not just about LGPL: optimised natives have
proprietary licenses.
4. I really think it's best to direct people to my detailed setup guide
instead of trying to compress it into one sentence. It is different for each
architecture, each OS, and for each backend.
I hope this helps to clear things up :smile:
