Github user WeichenXu123 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/14156 @srowen The := operator in BDM is simply copy one BDM to another, and it is widely used in breeze source, e.g, we can check DenseMatrix.copy function in Breeze: it first use `DenseMatrix.create` to create a new Matrix with the same dimension `val result = DenseMatrix.create(...)` , and them use `result := this` to copy self into the matrix just created. The mechanism of := operator for DenseMatrix is that the DenseMatrix implements the `OpSet` trait. check `DenseMatrix` source file in breeze, in line 985, there is: implicit val setMV_D:OpSet.InPlaceImpl2[...] = new SetDMDVOp[Double]() so, the implementation code is in `SetDMDVOp` class and we can see that in `SetDMDVOp` it do Type Specialization for Double type so that the compiling code will have high efficiency.
