Pattern mining is an important task of data mining and involves the extraction of interesting associations from large databases. However, developing fast and efficient parallel algorithms for handling large volumes of data is a challenging task. The MapReduce framework enables the distributed processing of huge amounts of data in large-scale distributed environment with robust fault-tolerance. In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm for extracting coverage patterns. The results of our performance evaluation with real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate that it is indeed feasible to extract coverage patterns effectively under the MapReduce framework.
