Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-6:
--------------------------------------
Does it make sense to be able to assign labels to the rows and columns and
maybe even have it accessible as a map? For instance, I think I could use
these for the bayesian classifier implementation I am working on and it would
make sense to be able to label the features and the labels. Naturally, I can
store the information elsewhere as well, but didn't know whether it made sense
to keep the info w/ the matrix.

> 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
