- Bump the Python requirement.
- Fix type hints.
- Use loky to avoid deadlock.
- Workaround cupy-numpy compatibility issue on Windows caused by the `safe` casting rule.
- Simplify the repartitioning logic to avoid dask errors.
This PR replaces the original RABIT implementation with a new one, which has already been partially merged into XGBoost. The new one features:
- Federated learning for both CPU and GPU.
- NCCL.
- More data types.
- A unified interface for all the underlying implementations.
- Improved timeout handling for both tracker and workers.
- Exhausted tests with metrics (fixed a couple of bugs along the way).
- A reusable tracker for Python and JVM packages.
* Add back xgboost.rabit for backwards compatibility
* fix my errors
* Fix lint
* Use FutureWarning
