And only when all table_train columns are numbers AND table_test
contains at least all of them AND they are numbers too.

Wouldn't it be easier to use numeric arrays to represent coordinate vectors?

Anyway, I'm not versed in all of this, wbut I would try to make a
function to turn a table record to a numeric array and then write the
numeric array version of the func and call them, divide and conquer.
