             Summary: Add density-based clustering algorithms to mahout
                 Key: MAHOUT-1206
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1206
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Yexi


The clustering algorithms (kmeans, fuzzy kmeans, dirichlet clustering, and 
spectral cluster) clustering data by assuming that the data can be clustered 
into the regular hyper sphere or ellipsoid. However, in practical, not all the 
data can be clustered in this way. 

To enable the data to be clustered in arbitrary shapes, clustering algorithms 
like DBSCAN, BIRCH, CLARANCE 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis#Density-based_clustering) are 
proposed.

It is better that we can implement one or some of these clustering algorithm to 
enrich the clustering library.
