             Summary: Add random forest ensemble method to machine learning library
                 Key: FLINK-1728
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1728
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Machine Learning Library
            Reporter: Till Rohrmann


Random forests 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.
