> Hey guys, 
> I was wondering, in the file KMeans.scala 
> (org/apache/spark/ml/clustering/KMeans.scala), the class KMeansModel is 
> private. But only in Scala, not in Java - why is that, and why would that be 
> a good idea?
> More concretely, imagine I wanted to extend the KMeans class and still be 
> compatible with the API so I can use it in a pipeline. In Scala that's not 
> possible, because I can't override the 'fit' method of KMeans, because that 
> requires me to return a KMeansModel, which I can't instantiate because the 
> constructor of KMeansModel is private.
> If there is no apparent reason we could just make it public, no?
