> Random forests [2,3] are a well-established mean to mitigate the decision trees' weakness of overfitting. Therefore this would be a valuable contribution to Flink's machine learning library.
> Google [1] describes some of the techniques they used to do ensemble learning of MapReduce. This could be helpful while implementing a distributed random forest.
