Hello All,

When using MATSBAIJ and MatChop you get the following error:

[0]PETSC ERROR: No support for this operation for this object type
[0]PETSC ERROR: MatGetRow is not supported for SBAIJ matrix format. Getting the upper triangular part of row, run with -mat_getrow_uppertriangular, call MatSetOption(mat,MAT_GETROW_UPPERTRIANGULAR,PETSC_TRUE) or MatGetRowUpperTriangular()
[0]PETSC ERROR: See https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html for trouble shooting.

But if you follow the instructions above, i.e. running with -mat_getrow_uppertriangular true then this works without a hitch. 

Since MATSBAIJ is always symmetric and upper triangular by design, then shouldn’t this MatOption be enabled by default? Or maybe MatChop should check MatType and use the correct MatGetRow impls.
