For internal usage in code base more useful and informatory use common practics for developers. Also, we can look to other linear algebra libraries, they use names related with `row` and `columns`: https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze/blob/master/math/src/main/scala/breeze/linalg/DenseMatrix.scala#L53 https://github.com/lessthanoptimal/ejml/blob/SNAPSHOT/main/ejml-core/src/org/ejml/data/DMatrixD1.java#L39 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
