             Summary: Improve Prefix'span pre-processing efficiency
                 Key: SPARK-20265
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20265
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: MLlib
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Cyril de Vogelaere
            Priority: Minor


Given the sequence :

0 4 0 1 0 2 0 5 0 2 0 4 0 5

And supposing only item 4 and 5 are frequent. The current implementation will 
clean the sequence as follow.

0 4 0 0 0 5 0 0 4 0 5

Which, while still giving the same results, inneficiently leave sequences of 
zero. A quick change in the code can removes those sequence of zeros, while not 
changing the returned solutions.

I ran test to mesure efficiency gain, they are available in the graph below :

As you can see, the performance increase is signifiant.
