/**
 * Abstract class for graph building algorithms that split the dataset into
 * partitions (for example using LSH).
 *
 * The number of stages (n_stages) and the number of partitions (n_partitions)
 * allow you to control the speedup and precision.
 *
 * If brute-force method is used inside the partitions: number of similarities
 * to compute ≃ n² / 2 x n_stages / n_partitions where n is the size of the
 * dataset
 *
 * Thus speedup with respect to pure brute force ≃ n_partitions / n_stages
 *
 * At the same time: - increasing n_stages will increase the precision -
 * increasing n_partitions will decrease the precision The exact relation
 * between precision and these 2 parameters depends on the algorithm used...
 *
 * @param  The type of nodes value
