Contributors: https://github.com/tqchen/rabit/graphs/contributors
Design Note
====
* Rabit is designed for algorithms that replicate same global model across nodes, while each node operating on local parition of data.
* The global statistics collection is done by using Allreduce
Design Goal
====
* rabit should run fast
* rabit is light weight
* rabit dig safe burrows to avoid disasters
Features
====
* Portable library

* MPI compatible
- Codes using rabit interface naturally compiles with existing MPI compiler
- User can fall back to use MPI Allreduce if they like with no code modification
