Ehsan Mohyedin Kermani commented on SPARK-11826:
------------------------------------------------

My main (major) motivation is related to 
[6417](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6417) and heavily using 
basic operations and possibly, later distributed linalg use cases. The only 
solution I can think of using add() only, would be multiplying each block after 
transforming toBreeze(), by negative identity for example, and perform the 
addition which ultimately is the subtract() (obvious implementation from 
add()), so it'd be a great help if we can have this and without it I'm not sure 
how we can achieve it differently? It might be a case that I'm missing 
something trivial here though!
