             Summary: Add Normalized Closeness Centrality to Spark GraphX
                 Key: SPARK-9975
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9975
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: GraphX
            Reporter: Kenny Bastani
            Priority: Minor


“Closeness centrality” is also defined as a proportion. First, the distance of 
a vertex from all other vertices in the network is counted. Normalization is 
achieved by defining closeness centrality as the number of other vertices 
divided by this sum (De Nooy et al., 2005, p. 127). Because of this 
normalization, closeness centrality provides a global measure about the 
position of a vertex in the network, while betweenness centrality is defined 
with reference to the local position of a vertex. -- Cited from

This request is to add normalized closeness centrality as a core graph 
algorithm in the GraphX library. I implemented this algorithm for a graph 
processing extension to Neo4j 
(https://github.com/kbastani/neo4j-mazerunner#supported-algorithms) and I would 
like to put it up for review for inclusion into Spark. This algorithm is very 
straight forward and builds on top of the included ShortestPaths (SSSP) 
algorithm already in the library.
