Hi all,

I am getting familiarized with Mllib and a thing I noticed is that running the 
MovieLensALS 
example on the movieLens dataset for increasing number of iterations does not 
decrease the 
rmse. 

The results for 0.6% training set and 0.4% test are below. For training set to 
0.8%, the results
are almost identical. Shouldn’t it be normal to see a decreasing error? 
Especially going from 1 to 5 iterations.

Running 1 iterations
Test RMSE for 1 iter. = 1.2452964343277886 (52.757125927000004 s).
Running 5 iterations
Test RMSE for 5 iter. = 1.3258973764470259 (61.183927666 s).
Running 9 iterations
Test RMSE for 9 iter. = 1.3260308117704385 (61.84948875800001 s).
Running 13 iterations
Test RMSE for 13 iter. = 1.3260310099809915 (73.799510125 s).
Running 17 iterations
Test RMSE for 17 iter. = 1.3260310102735398 (77.56512185300001 s).
Running 21 iterations
Test RMSE for 21 iter. = 1.3260310102739703 (79.607495074 s).
Running 25 iterations
Test RMSE for 25 iter. = 1.326031010273971 (88.631776301 s).
Running 29 iterations
Test RMSE for 29 iter. = 1.3260310102739712 (101.178383079 s).

Thanks  a lot,
Kostas
