DB Tsai commented on SPARK-17789:
---------------------------------

Why the above code will throw a runtime exception? (you don't reset the k yet).

> Don't force users to set k for KMeans if initial model is set

> In the initial implementation of initalModel, we allow users to set the 
> initial model with a KMeansModel that has a different {{k}} than the current 
> model. We throw an error at train time if the two are mismatched. This means 
> that the following code throws a runtime exception:
> {{code}}
> val kmeansModel = new KMeans().setInitialModel(model).fit(df)
> {{code}}
> We should discuss this behavior, and decide if we should enforce users to set 
> both the initial model and k, or if we should alter k when the initial model 
> is set, or if we should keep the current behavior.
