AIJ and BAIJ convertion

[SUN Chun]

Thanks Hong and Satish,

Unfortunately I did use MatCreateMPIAIJ. It's difficult to change that part of my code. Plus I have matrices dumped out with AIJ format and I want to read it as BAIJ. It seems that I have no option other than MatCreateMPIBAIJ then MatSetBlockSize then add entries one by one...? 

I was reading MatCopy and it says A and B should have same nnz pattern, which won't happen between AIJ and BAIJ. Also I was reading MatConvert, but it allocates new matrix for you without asking blocksize. I'm not sure either of them can do this.

Thanks,
Chun

This is assuming MatCreate() is used - not MatCreateMPIAIJ()..
