* add qid for https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/2748
* change names
* change spaces
* change qid to bst_uint type
* change qid type to size_t
* change qid first to SIZE_MAX
* change qid type from size_t to uint64_t
* update dmlc-core
* fix qids name error
* fix group_ptr_ error
* Style fix
* Add qid handling logic to SparsePage
* New MetaInfo format + backward compatibility fix
Old MetaInfo format (1.0) doesn't contain qid field. We still want to be able
to read from MetaInfo files saved in old format. Also, define a new format
(2.0) that contains the qid field. This way, we can distinguish files that
contain qid and those that do not.
* Update MetaInfo test
* Simply group assignment logic
* Explicitly set qid=nullptr in NativeDataIter
NativeDataIter's callback does not support qid field. Users of NativeDataIter
will need to call setGroup() function separately to set group information.
* Save qids_ in SaveBinary()
* Upgrade dmlc-core submodule
* Add a test for reading qid
* Add contributor
* Check the size of qids_
* Document qid format
* Use sparse page as singular CSR matrix representation
* Simplify dmatrix methods
* Reduce statefullness of batch iterators
* BREAKING CHANGE: Remove prob_buffer_row parameter. Users are instead recommended to sample their dataset as a preprocessing step before using XGBoost.
* Integrating a faster version of grow_gpu plugin
1. Removed the older files to reduce duplication
2. Moved all of the grow_gpu files under 'exact' folder
3. All of them are inside 'exact' namespace to avoid any conflicts
4. Fixed a bug in benchmark.py while running only 'grow_gpu' plugin
5. Added cub and googletest submodules to ease integration and unit-testing
6. Updates to CMakeLists.txt to directly build cuda objects into libxgboost
* Added support for building gpu plugins through make flow
1. updated makefile and config.mk to add right targets
2. added unit-tests for gpu exact plugin code
* 1. Added support for building gpu plugin using 'make' flow as well
2. Updated instructions for building and testing gpu plugin
* Fix travis-ci errors for PR#2360
1. lint errors on unit-tests
2. removed googletest, instead depended upon dmlc-core provide gtest cache
* Some more fixes to travis-ci lint failures PR#2360
* Added Rory's copyrights to the files containing code from both.
* updated copyright statement as per Rory's request
* moved the static datasets into a script to generate them at runtime
* 1. memory usage print when silent=0
2. tests/ and test/ folder organization
3. removal of the dependency of googletest for just building xgboost
4. coding style updates for .cuh as well
* Fixes for compilation warnings
* add cuda object files as well when JVM_BINDINGS=ON
