> k-Nearest Neighbors is a simple algorithm based on finding nearest neighbors 
> of data points in a metric feature space according to a specified distance 
> function. It is considered one of the canonical algorithms of data science. 
> It is a nonparametric method, which makes it applicable to a lot of 
> real-world problems where the data doesn’t satisfy particular distribution 
> assumptions. It can also be implemented as a lazy algorithm, which means 
> there is no training phase where information in the data is condensed into 
> coefficients, but there is a costly testing phase where all data (or some 
> subset) is used to make predictions.
> This JIRA involves implementing the naïve approach - i.e. compute the k 
> nearest neighbors by going through all points.
