Deron Eriksson commented on SYSTEMML-649: ----------------------------------------- Thank you [~mboehm7]. I'll take a look at that too. I will let you know if I need any guidance. > JMLC/MLContext support for scalar output variables > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SYSTEMML-649 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-649 > Project: SystemML > Issue Type: Task > Components: APIs > Reporter: Matthias Boehm > Assignee: Deron Eriksson > > Right now neither JMLC nor MLContext supports scalar output variables. This > task aims to extend both APIs with the required primitives. > The workaround is to cast any output scalar on script-level with as.matrix to > a 1-1 matrix and handle it in the calling application. However, especially > with MLContext this puts an unnecessary burden on the user as he needs to > deal with RDDs for a simple scalar too. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
