Clustering divides data into meaningful, useful groups known as clusters without any prior knowledge about the data. One of the drawbacks of K-Means clustering is the estimation of initial centroids which influence the performance of the algorithm. To overcome this issue, optimization algorithms like Bat and Firefly are executed as pre-processing step. These algorithms return optimal centroids which is given as input to the K-Means algorithm. Clustering is carried out on large data sets, therefore Apache Spark, an open source software framework is used. The performance of the optimization algorithms is evaluated and the best algorithm is determined.
