Peng Cheng commented on MAHOUT-1286:
------------------------------------
Also, please be noted that the first patch is still not optimized to extreme.
Many improvements can be made to make it smaller and faster. (see TODO: list in
code) But I'm trying to get back to MAHOUT-1274, if we expect large scale
refactoring on all recommenders in favor of recommendation-as-search, I'll have
to suspend it until refactoring is finished.
I'm waiting online for Dr Dunning's plan.

> 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.
