Hi Jeff,

with respect to the clusterdump result for K-means-generated clusters, I get
sth like

VL-0{n=100 c=[] r=[]}
        Weight:  Point:
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
With respect to the clusterdump result for canopyCentroids/cluster-0, I get
sth like

C-0{n=1 c=[] r=[]}
        Weight:  Point:
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []
        1.0: []

I am really confusing about the physical meanings of these results.

Thanks.
