Hi Suman, For maxIterations, are you using the DenseKMeans.scala example code? (I'm guessing yes since you mention the command line.) If so, then you should be able to specify maxIterations via an extra parameter like "--numIterations 50" (note the example uses "numIterations" in the current master instead of "maxIterations," which is sort of a bug in the example). If that does not cap the max iterations, then please report it as a bug.
To specify the initial centroids, you will need to modify the DenseKMeans example code. Please see the KMeans API docs for details.
