Sean Owen commented on SPARK-4823:
----------------------------------

I don't think MapReduce matters here. You can compute pairs of similarities 
with any framework, or try to do it on the fly. It's not different than column 
similarities, right? I don't think there's anything more to it than applying a 
similarity metric to all pairs of vectors. I think the JIRA is about exposing a 
method just for API convenience, not because it's conceptually different.

> RowMatrix has a columnSimilarities method to find cosine similarities between 
> columns.
> A rowSimilarities method would be useful to find similarities between rows.
> This is JIRA is to investigate which algorithms are suitable for such a 
> method, better than brute-forcing it. Note that when there are many rows (> 
> 10^6), it is unlikely that brute-force will be feasible, since the output 
> will be of order 10^12.
