Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the cuVS k-means implementation and its distance-computation path, then determine how the columns with the most impact on resulting distances can be identified and used for pruning. Done means the Super k-means approach is implemented and its distance results are validated.
