> The Mahout patch of the algorithm is not handling all types of sparse input
> efficiently. BtJob doesn't handle SequentialSparseVector in a way to pick
> only non-zero elements from initial input and QJob doesn't iterate over
> RandomAccessSparseVector correctly. With extremely sparse inputs (0.05%
> non-zero elements) that leads to a terrible inefficiency in the
> aforementioned jobs (QJob, BtJob).
