Hi alaa, In the KMeans example, in each iteration the new centers is computed in a map-reduce pattern. Each task maintains a part of points and it first choose the new center for each point, and then the new center of the sum(point) and num(point) is computed in the CentroidAccumulator, and the new point is then computed in CentroidAverager by sum(point) / num(point). Therefore, I think you may change the implementation of CentroidAverager to add the noise.
