             Summary: Memory-efficient DataModel, supporting fast online 
updates and iteration
                 Key: MAHOUT-1286
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1286
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Collaborative Filtering
    Affects Versions: 0.9
            Reporter: Peng Cheng
            Assignee: Sean Owen


Most DataModel implementation in current CF component use hash map to enable 
fast 2d indexing and update. This is not memory-efficient for big data set. 
e.g. Netflix prize dataset takes 11G heap space as a FileDataModel.

Improved implementation of DataModel should use more compact data structure 
(like arrays), this can trade a little of time complexity in 2d indexing for 
vast improvement in memory efficiency. In addition, any online recommender or 
online-to-batch converted recommender will not be affected by this in training 
process.
