Seth Hendrickson updated SPARK-17789:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
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.
