- A new DMatrix type.
- Extract common code into a new QDM base class.
Not yet working:
- Not exposed to the interface yet, will wait for the GPU implementation.
- ~No meta info yet, still working on the source.~
- Exporting data to CSR is not supported yet.
* Generate column matrix from gHistIndex.
* Avoid synchronization with the sparse page once the cache is written.
* Cleanups: Remove member variables/functions, change the update routine to look like approx and gpu_hist.
* Remove pruner.
This PR prepares the GHistIndexMatrix to host the column matrix which is used by the hist tree method by accepting sparse_threshold parameter.
Some cleanups are made to ensure the correct batch param is being passed into DMatrix along with some additional tests for correctness of SimpleDMatrix.
* Add hessian to batch param in preparation of new approx impl.
* Extract a push method for gradient index matrix.
* Use span instead of vector ref for hessian in sketching.
* Create a binary format for gradient index.
