Sean Owen commented on SPARK-14898:
-----------------------------------

I don't think the comment means that the SVD is used. It's noting that it could 
be used, but in this case, the desired product reduces to a simpler operation, 
an eigendecomposition. [~josephkb] I think this is perhaps out of date?

> In spark.ml.stat.distribution.MultivariateGaussian, 
> calculateCovarianceConstants uses SVD.  It might be more efficient to use 
> Cholesky.  We should check other numerical libraries and see if we should 
> switch to Cholesky.
