* Restrict access to `cfg_` in gbm.
* Verify having correct updaters.
* Remove `grow_global_histmaker`
This updater is the same as `grow_histmaker`. The former is not in our
document so we just remove it.
* Initial support for cudf integration.
* Add two C APIs for consuming data and metainfo.
* Add CopyFrom for SimpleCSRSource as a generic function to consume the data.
* Add FromDeviceColumnar for consuming device data.
* Add new MetaInfo::SetInfo for consuming label, weight etc.
* Refactor configuration [Part II].
* General changes:
** Remove `Init` methods to avoid ambiguity.
** Remove `Configure(std::map<>)` to avoid redundant copying and prepare for
parameter validation. (`std::vector` is returned from `InitAllowUnknown`).
** Add name to tree updaters for easier debugging.
* Learner changes:
** Make `LearnerImpl` the only source of configuration.
All configurations are stored and carried out by `LearnerImpl::Configure()`.
** Remove booster in C API.
Originally kept for "compatibility reason", but did not state why. So here
we just remove it.
** Add a `metric_names_` field in `LearnerImpl`.
** Remove `LazyInit`. Configuration will always be lazy.
** Run `Configure` before every iteration.
* Predictor changes:
** Allocate both cpu and gpu predictor.
** Remove cpu_predictor from gpu_predictor.
`GBTree` is now used to dispatch the predictor.
** Remove some GPU Predictor tests.
* IO
No IO changes. The binary model format stability is tested by comparing
hashing value of save models between two commits
* bump scala to 2.12 which requires java 8 and also newer flink and akka
* put scala version in artifactId
* fix appveyor
* fix for scaladoc issue that looks like https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/10509
* fix ci_build
* update versions in generate_pom.py
* fix generate_pom.py
* apache does not have a download for spark 2.4.3 distro using scala 2.12 yet, so for now i use a tgz i put on s3
* Upload spark-2.4.3-bin-scala2.12-hadoop2.7.tgz to our own S3
* Update Dockerfile.jvm_cross
* Update Dockerfile.jvm_cross
* Fix#4630, #4421: Preserve correct ordering between metrics, and always use last metric for early stopping
* Clarify semantics of early stopping in presence of multiple valid sets and metrics
* Add a test
* Fix lint
* _maybe_pandas_xxx should return their arguments unchanged if no pandas installed
* Tests should not assume pandas is installed
* Mark tests which require pandas as such
* Fix external memory for get column batches.
This fixes two bugs:
* Use PushCSC for get column batches.
* Don't remove the created temporary directory before finishing test.
* Check all pages.
* Add to documentation how to build native unit tests
* Add instructions to run Python tests and to use Docker container [skip ci]
* Fix link to pytest chapter
* Add link to Google Test [skip ci]
* Set PYTHONPATH [skip ci]
* Revise test_python.sh for running tests locally
* Update test_python.sh
* Place Docker recommendation notice in a prominent place [skip ci]

* - do not create device vectors for the entire sparse page while computing histograms...
- while creating the compressed histogram indices, the row vector is created for the entire
sparse page batch. this is needless as we only process chunks at a time based on a slice
of the total gpu memory
- this pr will allocate only as much as required to store the ppropriate row indices and the entries
* - do not dereference row_ptrs once the device_vector has been created to elide host copies of those counts
- instead, grab the entry counts directly from the sparsepage
* - set the appropriate device before freeing device memory...
- pr #4532 added a global memory tracker/logger to keep track of number of (de)allocations
and peak memory usage on a per device basis.
- this pr adds the appropriate check to make sure that the (de)allocation counts and memory usages
makes sense for the device. since verbosity is typically increased on debug/non-retail builds.
* - pre-create cub allocators and reuse them
- create them once and not resize them dynamically. we need to ensure that these allocators
are created and destroyed exactly once so that the appropriate device id's are set
This is part 1 of refactoring configuration.
* Move tree heuristic configurations.
* Split up declarations and definitions for GBTree.
* Implement UseGPU in gbm.
* - training with external memory - part 2 of 2
- when external memory support is enabled, building of histogram indices are
done incrementally for every sparse page
- the entire set of input data is divided across multiple gpu's and the relative
row positions within each device is tracked when building the compressed histogram buffer
- this was tested using a mortgage dataset containing ~ 670m rows before 4xt4's could be
saturated
