Sean Owen commented on SPARK-19208:
-----------------------------------
You have 29,890,095 features. At extremes of scale this might make a
difference, but, this isn't at all a normal use case. The difference between 3
and 8 8-byte values per feature is, at any normal scale, trivial. I am not sure
it's worth duplicating this code to optimize this. You can just write your own
custom scaling for this extreme case, and, make it even more efficient.
> MaxAbsScaler and MinMaxScaler are very inefficient

> Now, {{MaxAbsScaler}} and {{MinMaxScaler}} are using
> {{MultivariateOnlineSummarizer}} to compute the min/max.
> However {{MultivariateOnlineSummarizer}} will also compute extra unused
> statistics. It slows down the task, moreover it is more prone to cause OOM.
> For example:
> env : --driver-memory 4G --executor-memory 1G --num-executors 4
> data:
> [http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvmtools/datasets/binary.html#kdd2010%20(bridge%20to%20algebra)]
> 748401 instances, and 29,890,095 features
> {{MaxAbsScaler.fit}} fails because of OOM
> {{MultivariateOnlineSummarizer}} maintains 8 arrays:
> {code}
> private var currMean: Array[Double] = _
> private var currM2n: Array[Double] = _
> private var currM2: Array[Double] = _
> private var currL1: Array[Double] = _
> private var totalCnt: Long = 0
> private var totalWeightSum: Double = 0.0
> private var weightSquareSum: Double = 0.0
> private var weightSum: Array[Double] = _
> private var nnz: Array[Long] = _
> private var currMax: Array[Double] = _
> private var currMin: Array[Double] = _
> {code}
> For {{MaxAbsScaler}}, only 1 array is needed (max of abs value)
> For {{MinMaxScaler}}, only 3 arrays are needed (max, min, nnz)
> After modication in the pr, the above example run successfully.
