 All the nodes get the same result when calling Allreduce/Broadcast. Because of this property, any node can record the history,
 and when a node recovers, the result can be forwarded to it.

+The checkpoint is introduced so that we can discard the history after checkpointing, this makes the iterative program more efficient. The strategy of rabit is different from the fail-restart strategy where all the nodes restart from the same checkpoint
 when any of them fail. All the processes will block in the Allreduce call to help the recovery, and the checkpoint is only saved locally without
 touching the disk. This makes rabit programs more reliable and efficient.
