Github user mateiz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/296#issuecomment-39880128 Makes sense, although in practice users might do `coordinateMatrix.toIndexedRowMatrix.covariance`. Do we want to change CoordinateMatrix.toIndexedRowMatrix to add in the empty rows? You could just union the data with `sc.parallelize(0 until numRows)` somehow to add entries for those.
