* Portable: rabit is light weight and runs everywhere
- Rabit is a library instead of a framework, a program only needs to link the library to run
- Rabit only replies on a mechanism to start program, which was provided by most framework
- You can run rabit programs easily on many platforms, including Hadoop, MPI using the same code
- You can run rabit programs on many platforms, including Hadoop, MPI using the same code
* Scalable and Flexible: rabit runs fast
* Rabit program use Allreduce to communicate, and do not suffer the cost between iterations of MapReduce abstraction.
- Programs can call rabit functions in any order, as opposed to frameworks where callbacks are offered and called by the framework, i.e. inversion of control principle.
