> The k-Nearest Neighbor model for classification and regression problems is a simple and intuitive approach, offering a straightforward path to creating non-linear decision/estimation contours. It's downsides -- high variance (sensitivity to the known training data set) and computational intensity for estimating new point labels -- both play to Spark's big data strengths: lots of data mitigates data concerns; lots of workers mitigate computational latency. 
> We should include kNN models as options in MLLib.
