> Currently, KMeans assumes the only possible distance measure to be used is 
> the Euclidean.
> In some use cases, eg. text mining, other distance measures like the cosine 
> distance are widely used. Thus, for such use cases, it would be good to 
> support multiple distance measures.
> This ticket is to support the cosine distance measure on KMeans. Later, other 
> algorithms can be extended to support several distance measures and other 
> distance measures can be added.
