             Summary: Spark MLlib FPGrowth not working with 40+ items in 
Frequent Item set
                 Key: SPARK-38037
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-38037
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ML
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
         Environment: Stanalone Linux server

32 GB RAM

4 core

We have been using Spark FPGrowth and it works well with millions of 
transactions (records) when the frequent items in the Frequent Itemset is less 
than 25. Beyond 25 it runs into computational limit. For 40+ items in the 
Frequent Itemset the process never return.

To reproduce, you can create a simple data set of 3 transactions with equal 
items (40 of them) and run FPgrowth with 0.9 support, the process never 
completes. Below is a sample data I have used to narrow down the problem:
 
|I1|I2|I3|I4|I5|I6|I7|I8|I9|I10|I11|I12|I13|I14|I15|I16|I17|I18|I19|I20|I21|I22|I23|I24|I25|I26|I27|I28|I29|I30|I31|I32|I33|I34|I35|I36|I37|I38|I39|I40|
|I1|I2|I3|I4|I5|I6|I7|I8|I9|I10|I11|I12|I13|I14|I15|I16|I17|I18|I19|I20|I21|I22|I23|I24|I25|I26|I27|I28|I29|I30|I31|I32|I33|I34|I35|I36|I37|I38|I39|I40|
|I1|I2|I3|I4|I5|I6|I7|I8|I9|I10|I11|I12|I13|I14|I15|I16|I17|I18|I19|I20|I21|I22|I23|I24|I25|I26|I27|I28|I29|I30|I31|I32|I33|I34|I35|I36|I37|I38|I39|I40|

 

While the computation grows (2^n -1) with each item in Frequent Itemset, it 
surely should be able to handle 40 or more items in a Frequest Itemset
