Scott Hajek commented on MADLIB-1129:
-------------------------------------

[~fmcquillan], I like the interface you proposed. It works for the 
classification case when you want to know which points were used for each 
classification. 

I've also had times where I just wanted to find the nearest neighbors but not 
do any classification. You could still use this interface for that too, you'd 
just have to provide a dummy label field. If there were an interface where you 
don't have to provide a label field and just get the nearest neighbor IDs it 
would be cleaner for that use case.

> List the k-nearest neighbors that were used in the voting/averaging, sorted 
> in ASC order according to the distance function used.  This could be added to 
> the current output table.
