Each cluster has its own convergence which is defined as the distance
between its center and its centroid. As a result, overall convergence is a
binary measure defined as whether all clusters are converged -- whether each
cluster's convergence is less-than or equal to the convergence delta.

If you are interested in the convergence measure for each cluster, you will
need to modify computeConvergence() in o.a.m.clustering.kmeans.Cluster to
either store or log the convergence.

If there's sufficient interest in this, I can prep a patch that will allow
convergence to be stored and dumped via ClusterDumper
