If your matrix is symmetric (and real I presume), and if my linear
algebra isn't too rusty, then its SVD is its eigendecomposition. The
SingularValueDecomposition object you get back has U and V, both of
which have columns that are the eigenvectors.

There are a few SVDs in the Spark code. The one in mllib is not
distributed (right?) and is probably not an efficient means of
computing eigenvectors if you really just want a decomposition of a
symmetric matrix.

The one I see in graphx is distributed? I haven't used it though.
Maybe it could be part of a solution.
