yuhao yang commented on SPARK-22195:
------------------------------------

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't see the existing implementation (RowMatrix or in Word2Vec) can fulfill 
the two scenarios:
1. Compute cosine similarity between two arbitrary vectors.
2. Compute cosine similarity between one vector and a group of other Vectors 
(usually candidates).

And again, not everyone using Spark ML know how to implement cosine similarity. 


> Add cosine similarity to org.apache.spark.ml.linalg.Vectors

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity:
> As the most important measure of similarity, I found it quite useful in some 
> image and NLP applications according to personal experience.
> Suggest to add function for cosine similarity in 
> org.apache.spark.ml.linalg.Vectors.
> Interface:
>   def cosineSimilarity(v1: Vector, v2: Vector): Double = ...
>   def cosineSimilarity(v1: Vector, v2: Vector, norm1: Double, norm2: Double): 
> Double = ...
> Appreciate suggestions and need green light from committers.
