This is just a conceptual introduction to rabit's fault tolerance model. The actual implementation is more sophisticated,
and can deal with more complicated cases such as multiple nodes failure and node failure during recovery phase.
Python Wrapper
=====
In order to make the library available for a wider range of developers, we decided to provide a python wrapper to our C++ code.
Developers can now program rabit applications in Python! We provide a couple of examples:
* [./basic.py](./basic.py) : [./basic.cc] counterpart, explained above.
