I think the problem here is that IndexedRowMatrix.toRowMatrix does *not* result in a RowMatrix with rows in order of their indices, necessarily:
// Drop its row indices. RowMatrix rowMat = indexedRowMatrix.toRowMatrix(); What you get is a matrix where the rows are arranged in whatever order they were passed to IndexedRowMatrix. RowMatrix says it's for rows where the ordering doesn't matter, but then it's maybe surprising it has a QR decomposition method, because clearly the result depends on the order of rows in the input. (CC Yuhao Yang for a comment?) You could say, well, why doesn't IndexedRowMatrix.toRowMatrix return at least something with sorted rows? that would not be hard. It also won't return "missing" rows (all zeroes), so it would not in any event result in a RowMatrix whose implicit rows and ordering represented the same matrix. That, at least, strikes me as something to be better documented. Maybe it would be nicer still to at least sort the rows, given the existence of use cases like yours. For example, at least CoordinateMatrix.toIndexedRowMatrix could sort? that is less surprising. In any event you should be able to make it work by manually getting the RDD[IndexedRow] out of IndexedRowMatrix, sorting by index, then mapping it to Vectors and making a RowMatrix from it.
