* [jvm-packages] Scala implementation of the Rabit tracker.
A Scala implementation of RabitTracker that is interface-interchangable with the
Java implementation, ported from `tracker.py` in the
[dmlc-core project](https://github.com/dmlc/dmlc-core).
* [jvm-packages] Updated Akka dependency in pom.xml.
* Refactored the RabitTracker directory structure.
* Fixed premature stopping of connection handler.
Added a new finite state "AwaitingPortNumber" to explicitly wait for the
worker to send the port, and close the connection. Stopping the actor
prematurely sends a TCP RST to the worker, causing the worker to crash
on AssertionError.
* Added interface IRabitTracker so that user can switch implementations.
* Default timeout duration changes.
* Dependency for Akka tests.
* Removed the main function of RabitTracker.
* A skeleton for testing Akka-based Rabit tracker.
* waitFor() in RabitTracker no longer throws exceptions.
* Completed unit test for the 'start' command of Rabit tracker.
* Preliminary support for Rabit Allreduce via JNI (no prepare function support yet.)
* Fixed the default timeout duration.
* Use Java container to avoid serialization issues due to intermediate wrappers.
* Added tests for Allreduce/model training using Scala Rabit tracker.
* Added spill-over unit test for the Scala Rabit tracker.
* Fixed a typo.
* Overhaul of RabitTracker interface per code review.
- Removed methods start() waitFor() (no arguments) from IRabitTracker.
- The timeout in start(timeout) is now worker connection timeout, as tcp
socket binding timeout is less intuitive.
- Dropped time unit from start(...) and waitFor(...) methods; the default
time unit is millisecond.
- Moved random port number generation into the RabitTrackerHandler.
- Moved all Rabit-related classes to package ml.dmlc.xgboost4j.scala.rabit.
* More code refactoring and comments.
* Unified timeout constants. Readable tracker status code.
* Add comments to indicate that allReduce is for tests only. Removed all other variants.
* Removed unused imports.
* Simplified signatures of training methods.
- Moved TrackerConf into parameter map.
- Changed GeneralParams so that TrackerConf becomes a standalone parameter.
- Updated test cases accordingly.
* Changed monitoring strategies.
* Reverted monitoring changes.
* Update test case for Rabit AllReduce.
* Mix in UncaughtExceptionHandler into IRabitTracker to prevent tracker from hanging due to exceptions thrown by workers.
* More comprehensive test cases for exception handling and worker connection timeout.
* Handle executor loss due to unknown cause: the newly spawned executor will attempt to connect to the tracker. Interrupt tracker in such case.
* Per code-review, removed training timeout from TrackerConf. Timeout logic must be implemented explicitly and externally in the driver code.
* Reverted scalastyle-config changes.
* Visibility scope change. Interface tweaks.
* Use match pattern to handle tracker_conf parameter.
* Minor clarification in JNI code.
* Clearer intent in match pattern to suppress warnings.
* Removed Future from constructor. Block in start() and waitFor() instead.
* Revert inadvertent comment changes.
* Removed debugging information.
* Updated test cases that are a bit finicky.
* Added comments on the reasoning behind the unit tests for testing Rabit tracker robustness.
