>                 Key: SPARK-12703
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12703
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Documentation
>          Components: MLlib
>            Reporter: Anton
>            Priority: Minor
>   Original Estimate: 5m
>  Remaining Estimate: 5m
>
> In the documentation of Spark's Kmeans - python api:
> http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/mllib-clustering.html#k-means
> the cost of the final result is calculated using the 'error()' function where 
> its returning:
> {quote}
> return sqrt(sum([x**2 for x in (point - center)]))
> {quote}
> As I understand, it's wrong to use sqrt() and it should be omitted:
> {quote} return sum([x**2 for x in (point - center)]).{quote}
> Please refer to :
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means_clustering#Description
> Where you can see that the power is canceling the square.
> What do you think? It's minor but wasted me a few min to understand why the 
> result isn't what I'm expecting.
