Sean Owen commented on SPARK-8708:
----------------------------------

Does that actually make 5 partitions? I see that's what's requested, but are 
the items evenly distributed?
The computation doesn't use 1 partition, so the question is why the result 
would have 1 partition. It might if you have a small number of products that 
all get into one partition for whatever reason, I think, since the final join 
is on product. I have one more idea on the PR ...

> MatrixFactorizationModel.predictAll() populates single partition only

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: MLlib
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
>            Reporter: Antony Mayi

> When using mllib.recommendation.ALS the RDD returned by .predictAll() has all 
> values pushed into single partition despite using quite high parallelism.
> This degrades performance of further processing (I can obviously run 
> .partitionBy()) to balance it but that's still too costly (ie if running 
> .predictAll() in loop for thousands of products) and should be possible to do 
> it rather somehow on the model (automatically)).
> Bellow is an example on tiny sample (same on large dataset):
> {code:title=pyspark}
> >>> r1 = (1, 1, 1.0)
> >>> r2 = (1, 2, 2.0)
> >>> r3 = (2, 1, 2.0)
> >>> r4 = (2, 2, 2.0)
> >>> r5 = (3, 1, 1.0)
> >>> ratings = sc.parallelize([r1, r2, r3, r4, r5], 5)
> >>> ratings.getNumPartitions()
> 5
> >>> users = ratings.map(itemgetter(0)).distinct()
> >>> model = ALS.trainImplicit(ratings, 1, seed=10)
> >>> predictions_for_2 = model.predictAll(users.map(lambda u: (u, 2)))
> >>> predictions_for_2.glom().map(len).collect()
> [0, 0, 3, 0, 0]
> {code}
