Jason Rennie commented on MAHOUT-6:
-----------------------------------

Hmm... actually, the HashMap implementation doubles nicely as the builder for 
the CRS implementation.

> We need matrices for Mahout.
> An initial set of basic requirements includes:
> a) sparse and dense support are required
> b) row and column labels are important
> c) serialization for hadoop use is required
> d) reasonable floating point performance is required, but awesome FP is not
> e) the API should be simple enough to understand
> f) it should be easy to carve out sub-matrices for sending to different 
> reducers
> g) a reasonable set of matrix operations should be supported, these should 
> eventually include:
>     simple matrix-matrix and matrix-vector and matrix-scalar linear algebra 
> operations, A B, A + B, A v, A + x, v + x, u + v, dot(u, v)
>     row and column sums  
>     generalized level 2 and 3 BLAS primitives, alpha A B + beta C and A u + 
> beta v
> h) easy and efficient iteration constructs, especially for sparse matrices
> i) easy to extend with new implementations
