For now, take the first node that is found (or the simplest solution in general). After everything works, we can add the extra column to let the user know of the problem.

Should we include these equidistant points in the final output or just take any one of them and report this to the user?

Sorry, by "reported" I meant it is only seen in k-d tree matching. For simple coordinate based matching, it simply uses the top point in the sorted list of points.

Thanks for raising this very interesting point Sachin!

How is it currently reported in the k-d tree matching?

Even if no log file is created, keeping a binary column for this would be useful to let the users know in the end that "N objects had more than one nearest neighbor, run with '--log' for more information".

In real world scenarios, the distance between 2 objects cannot be precisely equal due to presence of noise in datasets. But to account for such anomalies we should report them in the log-file during matching. This is currently reported for cases which use Kd-tree for matching.

The idea is to make a separate column for these values and use binary value: 0 if only one object was the nearest neighbor else 1 if more than one object has the distance of the nearest neighbor.
