Pat Ferrel updated MAHOUT-1883:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
The collaborative filtering CCO algo uses drms for each "indicator" type. The 
input must have the same set of user-id and so the row rank for all input 
matrices must be the same.

In the past we have padded the row-id dictionary to include new rows only in 
secondary matrices. This can lead to very large amounts of data processed in 
the CCO pipeline that does not affect the results. Put another way if the row 
doesn't exist in the primary matrix, there will be no cross-occurrence in the 
other calculated cooccurrences matrix.

if we are calculating P'P and P'S, S will not need rows that don't exist in P 
so this Jira is to create an IndexedDataset companion object that takes an 
RDD[(String, String)] of interactions but that uses the dictionary from P for 
row-ids and filters out all data that doesn't correspond to P. The companion 
object will create the row-ids dictionary if it is not passed in, and use it to 
filter if it is passed in.

We have seen data that can be reduced by many orders of magnitude using this 
technique. This could be handled outside of Mahout but always produces better 
performance and so this version of data-prep seems worth including.

It does not affect the CLI version yet but could be included there in a future 
Jira.
