- Save the updater sequence as an array instead of object.
- Warn only once.
The compatibility is kept, but we should be able to break it as the config is not loaded
in pickle model and it's declared to be not stable.
- A `DeviceOrd` struct is implemented to indicate the device. It will eventually replace the `gpu_id` parameter.
- The `predictor` parameter is removed.
- Fallback to `DMatrix` when `inplace_predict` is not available.
- The heuristic for choosing a predictor is only used during training.
* Use ptr from mmap for `GHistIndexMatrix` and `ColumnMatrix`.
- Define a resource for holding various types of memory pointers.
- Define ref vector for holding resources.
- Swap the underlying resources for GHist and ColumnM.
- Add documentation for current status.
- s390x support is removed. It should work if you can compile XGBoost, all the old workaround code does is to get GCC to compile.
- Update SparseDMatrix comment.
- Use a pointer in the bitfield. We will replace the `std::vector<bool>` in `ColumnMatrix` with bitfield.
- Clean up the page source. The timer is removed as it's inaccurate once we swap the mmap pointer into the page.
- Rework the precision metric for both CPU and GPU.
- Mention it in the document.
- Cleanup old support code for GPU ranking metric.
- Deterministic GPU implementation.
* Drop support for classification.
* type.
* use batch shape.
* lint.
* cpu build.
* cpu build.
* lint.
* Tests.
* Fix.
* Cleanup error message.
- Implement a simple `IterSpan` for passing iterators with size.
- Use shared memory for column size counts.
- Use one thread for each sample in row count to reduce atomic operations.
Thrust implementation of `thrust::all_of/any_of/none_of` adopts an early stopping strategy
to bailout early by dividing the input into small batches. This is not ideal for data
validation as we expect all data to be valid. The strategy leads to excessive kernel
launches and stream synchronization.
* Use reduce from dh instead.
- Pass context from booster to DMatrix.
- Use context instead of integer for `n_threads`.
- Check the consistency configuration for `max_bin`.
- Test for all combinations of initialization options.
Previously, we use `libsvm` as default when format is not specified. However, the dmlc
data parser is not particularly robust against errors, and the most common type of error
is undefined format.
Along with which, we will recommend users to use other data loader instead. We will
continue the maintenance of the parsers as it's currently used for many internal tests
including federated learning.
Added some more tests for the learner and fit_stump, for both column-wise distributed learning and vertical federated learning.
Also moved the `IsRowSplit` and `IsColumnSplit` methods from the `DMatrix` to the `MetaInfo` since in some places we only have access to the `MetaInfo`. Added a new convenience method `IsVerticalFederatedLearning`.
Some refactoring of the testing fixtures.
* Implement multi-target for hist.
- Add new hist tree builder.
- Move data fetchers for tests.
- Dispatch function calls in gbm base on the tree type.
* Fix CPU bin compression with categorical data.
* The bug causes the maximum category to be lesser than 256 or the maximum number of bins when
the input data is dense.
* Extract most of the functionality into `DMatrixCache`.
* Move API entry to independent file to reduce dependency on `predictor.h` file.
* Add test.

* Use array interface for CSC matrix.
Use array interface for CSC matrix and align the interface with CSR and dense.
- Fix nthread issue in the R package DMatrix.
- Unify the behavior of handling `missing` with other inputs.
- Unify the behavior of handling `missing` around R, Python, Java, and Scala DMatrix.
- Expose `num_non_missing` to the JVM interface.
- Deprecate old CSR and CSC constructors.
