I think it is valuable to make the distance function pluggable and also provide some builtin distance function. This might be also useful for other algorithms besides KMeans. On Tue, Jun 21, 2016 at 7:48 PM, Simon NANTY wrote: > Hi all, > > > > In my team, we are currently developing a fork of s

Possible contribution to MLlib

2016-06-21 Thread Simon NANTY
Hi all, In my team, we are currently developing a fork of spark MLlib extending K-means method such that it is possible to set its own distance function. In this implementation, it could be possible to directly pass, in argument of the K-means train function, a distance function whose signature
