Sean Owen resolved SPARK-21058.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

If there's a specific optimization for large, sparse matrices to discuss, I can 
reopen this.

> potential SVD optimization

>                 Key: SPARK-21058
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21058
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: ML, MLlib
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.1
>            Reporter: Vincent

> In the current implementation, computeSVD will compute SVD for matrix A by 
> computing AT*A first and svd on the Gramian matrix, we found that the Gramian 
> matrix computation is the hot spot of the overall SVD computation. While svd 
> on the Gramian matrix can benefit svd computation on the skinny matrix, for a 
> non-skinny matrix, it could also become a huge overhead. So, is it possible 
> to offer another option by computing svd on the original matrix instead of 
> the Gramian matrix? We can decide which way to go by the ratio between 
> numCols and numRows, or by simply settings from the user.
> We have observed a handsome gain on a toy dataset by svd on the original 
> matrix instead of the Gramian matrix, if the proposal is acceptable, we will 
> start to work on the patch and gather more performance data.
