> Creating this jira to track the feature parity for PrefixSpan and sequential pattern mining in Spark ml with DataFrame API. 
> First list a few design issues to be discussed, then subtasks like Scala, Python and R API will be created.
> # Wrapping the MLlib PrefixSpan and provide a generic fit() should be straightforward. Yet PrefixSpan only extracts frequent sequential patterns, which is not good to be used directly for predicting on new records. Please read  http://data-mining.philippe-fournier-viger.com/introduction-to-sequential-rule-mining/ for some background knowledge. Thanks Philippe Fournier-Viger for providing insights. If we want to keep using the Estimator/Transformer pattern, options are:
>      #*  Implement a dummy transform for PrefixSpanModel, which will not add new column to the input DataSet. The PrefixSpanModel is only used to provide access for frequent sequential patterns.
>      #*  Adding the feature to extract sequential rules from sequential patterns. Then use the sequential rules in the transform as FPGrowthModel.  The rules extracted are of the form X–> Y where X and Y are sequential patterns. But in practice, these rules are not very good as they are too precise and thus not noise tolerant.
> #  Different from association rules and frequent itemsets, sequential rules can be extracted from the original dataset more efficiently using algorithms like RuleGrowth, ERMiner. The rules are X–> Y where X is unordered and Y is unordered, but X must appear before Y, which is more general and can work better in practice for prediction. 
> I'd like to hear more from the users to see which kind of Sequential rules are more practical.
