I don't think we have to extract the code, people can pull it out of the 0.9 releases sources which are in svn.

We have not heard any opposition from a production users of this code here, nor has someone stepped up to maintain this code (and we've asked for the second time), so let's finish what we already aimed for in the 0.9 release and remove it.

I'll prepare a patch.

One thought is to extract the code, publish on github with warnings about
no support.  Then if there are requests, we can point them to the GH
archive and tell them to go for it.

+100 to purging this from the codebase. This stuff uses the old MR api and
would have to be upgraded not to mention that this was removed from 0.9 and
was restored only because one user wanted it who promised to maintain it
and has not been heard from.

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.
