    Sorry for my absence from recent conversation!
    
    I agree there is no clear answer for handling input and output schema.  
Some options:
    * Option 1: same as RDD/GraphX-based API
      * Input: Each Row is 1 edge.  DataFrame represents a graph.
      * Output: [node ID, cluster ID]
    * Option 2: take adjacency list
      * Input: Each Row has [node ID, list of neighbor IDs, list of neighbor 
edge weights].  DataFrame represents a graph.
      * Output: Append column for "cluster ID"
    * Option 3: take feature vectors --> This is another use of PIC from the 
original paper.  Given feature vectors, compute a similarity matrix using some 
distance, and then run PIC as we do now.  We won't do this now, but we could 
add it as an option in the future.
      * Input: Each Row has [node ID, feature vector].  DataFrame does *not* 
represent a graph.
      * Output: Append columns for "cluster ID" and "adjacency list"
    
    It sounds like Option 1 is the main one being considered right now.  What 
do you think of Option 2 though to keep it as a row->row Transformer?
