[jira] [Commented] (MATH-870) Deprecate interfaces and implementations of sparse vectors and matrices

["emmanue joliet (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-870?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13884065#comment-13884065 ] 

emmanue joliet commented on MATH-870:
-------------------------------------

Why should be removed??? We use it heavily and need the class as it gives what we need (handling the input of course!)
I understand the problem of an incorrect/improper handling of NaN/Infinity conditions but can't justify to remove the classes completely? Isn't it??

>                 Key: MATH-870
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-870
>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 4.0
>            Reporter: Sébastien Brisard
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Recently, many problems have been found out with class
> {{OpenMapRealVector}} (see MATH-803 and MATH-821), to the point that the complete removal of this class in upcoming versions (as of 4.0) has been agreed [markmail|http://markmail.org/thread/bseyswf7qqrgatru].
> Since it now becomes useless, {{SparseRealVector}} will also be removed. For the sake of consistency, {{SparseFieldVector}} will also be removed.
> Furthermore, it is expected that the same kind of bugs will occur with sparse implementations of real/field matrices, which will also be removed.
> In version 3.1, the following classes and interfaces will be deprecated
> * {{SparseRealVector}}
> * {{OpenMapRealVector}}
> * {{SparseFieldVector}}
> * {{SparseRealMatrix}}
> * {{OpenMapRealMatrix}}
> * {{SparseFieldMatrix}}
> They will be completely removed in version 4.0.
