There's some format problems with my last PR, with HyukjinKwon 's help I read the guidance, re-check my code and PR, then run the tests, finally re-submit the PR request here.
The related JIRA issue though marked as resolved, this change may relate to it I think.
## Proposed Change
After picking each new initial centers, it's unnecessary to compute the distances between all the points and the old ones.
Instead this change keeps the distance between all the points and their closest centers, and compare to the distance of them with the new center then update them.
## Test result
One can find an easy test way in (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6706)
I test the KMeans++ method for a small dataset with 16k points, and the whole KMeans|| with a large one with 240k points.
The data has 4096 features and I tunes K from 100 to 500.
The test environment was on my 4 machine cluster, I also tested a 3M points data on a larger cluster with 25 machines and got similar results, which I would not draw the detail curve. The result of the first two exps are shown below
### Local KMeans++ test:
Dataset:4m_ini_center
Data_size:16234
Dimension:4096
Lloyd's Iteration = 10
The y-axis is time in sec, the x-axis is tuning the K.
### On a larger dataset
An improve show in the graph but not commit in this file: In this experiment I also have an improvement for calculation in normalization data (the distance is convert to the cosine distance). As if the data is normalized into (0,1), one improvement in the original vesion for util.MLUtils.fastSauaredDistance would have no effect (the precisionBound 2.0 * EPSILON * sumSquaredNorm / (normDiff * normDiff + EPSILON) will never less then precision in this case). Therefore I design an early terminal method when comparing two distance (used for findClosest). But I don't include this improve in this file, you may only refer to the curves without "normalize" for comparing the results.
Dataset:4k24
Data_size:243960
Dimension:4096
Normlize Enlarge Initialize Lloyd's_Iteration
NO 1 3 5
YES 10000 3 5
Notice: the normlized data is enlarged to ensure precision
The cost time: x-for value of K, y-for time in sec
SE for unnormalized data between two version, to ensure the correctness
Here is the SE between normalized data just for reference, it's also correct.
