----------------------------------------
I am doing Canopy Clustering and I just get clusters-0 directory. There is no
clusters-n-final. Is this the expected behavior or am I doing something wrong?

> Top Down Clustering works in multiple steps. The first step is to find
> comparative bigger clusters. The second step is to cluster the bigger chunks
> into meaningful clusters. This can performance while clustering big amount of
> data. And, it also removes the dependency of providing input clusters/numbers
> to the clustering algorithm.
> The "big" is a relative term, as well as the smaller "meaningful" terms. So,
> the control of this "bigger" and "smaller/meaningful" clusters will be
> controlled by the user.
> Which clustering algorithm to be used in the top level and which to use in
> the bottom level can also be selected by the user. Initially, it can be done
> for only one/few clustering algorithms, and later, option can be provided to
> use all the algorithms ( which suits the case ).
