Hi Michael,
the problem is that currently nodoby is maintaining the fpgrowth code
anymore or working on documentation for it, that's why we consider it to
be a candidate for removal. I don't see much value in keeping algorithms
in the codebase if nobody is maintaining them, answering questions and
providing documentation. If someone opposes here who has that code in
production, that could be a reason to retain it however.
People wanting to use the code in the future can always download Mahout
0.9 which has the current implementation.

what is the alternative and if one would still want to use the "frequent

Thanks

Hi,
I'm resending this mail to also include the users list. To wrap up: We
currently have a discussion whether our frequent pattern mining
package should stay in the codebase. The original author suggested to
remove the original implementation and maybe retain the FPGrowth2
implementation.
I'd like to ask our users here on their opionion, is anybody opposed
to removing the frequent pattern mining code from Mahout? Please shout
out.
