So
 b =
0.89
0.42
0.0
0.88
0.97
The solution at the bottom is the solution to Ax = b solved using Gaussian
elimination. I guess another question is, is there another way to solve
this problem? I'm trying to solve the least squares fit with a huge A (5MM
x 1MM)

x = inverse(A-transpose*A)*A-transose*b

but I didn't see any functions for matrix inversion

I suppose I can use an iterative solver but I didn't see that either which
is why I chose the QR decomposition , solve for Q and then Q-transpose*b =
d and the solve Lx = d which would give the solution. But I don't think
this would work either since the matrices are local copies and not RDD data
structures. Any advice would be appreciated...

P.S. I also looked in the linear regression class in the mlib but I haven't
seen any examples with sparse matrix and sparse vectors as the input just
'Dataset' If you have a code example of this this would work??
