Krishna, I tested your linear regression example. For linear
regression, we changed its objective function from 1/n * \|A x -
b\|_2^2 to 1/(2n) * \|Ax - b\|_2^2 to be consistent with common least
squares formulations. It means you could re-produce the same result by
multiplying the step size by 2. This is not a problem if both run
until convergence (if not blow up). However, in your example, a very
small step size is chosen and it didn't converge in 100 iterations. In
this case, the step size matters. I will put a note in the migration
guide. Thanks! -Xiangrui
