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! was (Author: ehsan mohyedin kermani): 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.
