-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

 * 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
