             Summary: Improve performance of ML ALS recommendForAll
                 Key: SPARK-20587
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20587
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ML
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Nick Pentreath
            Assignee: Nick Pentreath


SPARK-11968 relates to excessive GC pressure from using the "blocked BLAS 3" 
approach for generating top-k recommendations in 
{{mllib.recommendation.MatrixFactorizationModel}}.

The solution there is still based on blocking factors, but efficiently computes 
the top-k elements *per block* first (using {{BoundedPriorityQueue}}) and then 
computes the global top-k elements.

This improves performance and GC pressure substantially for {{mllib}}'s ALS 
model. The same approach is also a lot more efficient than the current 
"crossJoin and score per-row" used in {{ml}}'s {{DataFrame}}-based method. This 
adapts the solution in SPARK-11968 for {{DataFrame}}.
