The current head of the template repo repartitions input based on Spark's default parallelism, which I set on the `pio train` CLI to 4 x #-of-cores. This speeds up the math drastically. There are still some things that look like bottlenecks but taking them out make things slower. The labels you see in the Spark GUI should be considered approximations.
The parOpt is a mahout specific way to control partitioning and I avoid it by using the Spark method.

Training take 18hours (each day) and last 12 hours it use only one core. As I can see URAlgorithm.scala (line 144) call SimilarityAnalysis.cooccurrencesIDSs with data.actions (12 partitions) untill reduceByKey in AtB.scala it executes in parallel but after this it executing in single thread. It is strange, that when SimilarityAnalysis.scala(line 145) call indexedDatasets(0).create(drm, indexedDatasets(0).columnIDs, indexedDatasets(i).columnIDs) it return IndexedDataset with only one partition. As I can see in SimilarityAnalysis.scala(line 63) drmARaw.par(auto = true) May be this cause decreasing the number of partitions. As I can see in master branch of MAHOUT has ParOpt: https://github.com/apache/mahout/blob/master/math-scala/src/main/scala/org/apache/mahout/math/cf/SimilarityAnalysis.scala#L142 <https://github.com/apache/mahout/blob/master/math-scala/src/main/scala/org/apache/mahout/math/cf/SimilarityAnalysis.scala#L142> May be this can fix the problem. So, am I right with root of problems, and how can I fix it? <Screenshot from 2016-11-16 15:42:36.png> I have spark cluster with 12 Cores and 128GB but with increasing number of events, I can't scale UR, beause of this bottleneck P.S., please do not suggest to use event window (I've already use it. but daily numer of events are increasing)
