* [jvm-packages] Exposed train-time evaluation metrics
They are accessible via 'XGBoostModel.summary'. The summary is not
serialized with the model and is only available after the training.
* Addressed review comments
* Extracted model-related tests into 'XGBoostModelSuite'
* Added tests for copying the 'XGBoostModel'
* [jvm-packages] Fixed a subtle bug in train/test split
Iterator.partition (naturally) assumes that the predicate is deterministic
but this is not the case for
r.nextDouble() <= trainTestRatio
therefore sometimes the DMatrix(...) call got a NoSuchElementException
and crashed the JVM due to lack of exception handling in
XGBoost4jCallbackDataIterNext.
* Make sure train/test objectives are different
* [jvm-packages] Fixed compilation on Windows
* [jvm-packages] Build the JNI bindings on Appveyor
* [jvm-packages] Build & test on OS X
* [jvm-packages] Re-applied the CMake build changes reverted by #2395
* Fixed Appveyor JVM build
* Muted Maven on Travis
* Don't link with libawt
* "linux2"->"linux"
Python2.x and 3.X use slightly different values for ``sys.platform``.
* [jvm-packages] Fixed JNI_OnLoad overload
It does not compile on Windows without proper export flags.
* [jvm-packages] Use JNI types directly where appropriate
* Removed lib hack from CMake build
Prior to this commit the CMake build use hardcoded lib prefix for
libxgboost and libxgboost4j. Unfortunatelly this did not play well with
Windows, which does not use the lib- prefix.
* [jvm-packages] Added libxgboost4j to CMake build
* [jvm-packages] Wired CMake build into create_jni.sh
* User newer CMake version on Travis
* Lowered CMake version constraints
* Fixed various quirks in the new CMake build
* [jvm-packages] Scala implementation of the Rabit tracker.
A Scala implementation of RabitTracker that is interface-interchangable with the
Java implementation, ported from `tracker.py` in the
[dmlc-core project](https://github.com/dmlc/dmlc-core).
* [jvm-packages] Updated Akka dependency in pom.xml.
* Refactored the RabitTracker directory structure.
* Fixed premature stopping of connection handler.
Added a new finite state "AwaitingPortNumber" to explicitly wait for the
worker to send the port, and close the connection. Stopping the actor
prematurely sends a TCP RST to the worker, causing the worker to crash
on AssertionError.
* Added interface IRabitTracker so that user can switch implementations.
* Default timeout duration changes.
* Dependency for Akka tests.
* Removed the main function of RabitTracker.
* A skeleton for testing Akka-based Rabit tracker.
* waitFor() in RabitTracker no longer throws exceptions.
* Completed unit test for the 'start' command of Rabit tracker.
* Preliminary support for Rabit Allreduce via JNI (no prepare function support yet.)
* Fixed the default timeout duration.
* Use Java container to avoid serialization issues due to intermediate wrappers.
* Added tests for Allreduce/model training using Scala Rabit tracker.
* Added spill-over unit test for the Scala Rabit tracker.
* Fixed a typo.
* Overhaul of RabitTracker interface per code review.
- Removed methods start() waitFor() (no arguments) from IRabitTracker.
- The timeout in start(timeout) is now worker connection timeout, as tcp
socket binding timeout is less intuitive.
- Dropped time unit from start(...) and waitFor(...) methods; the default
time unit is millisecond.
- Moved random port number generation into the RabitTrackerHandler.
- Moved all Rabit-related classes to package ml.dmlc.xgboost4j.scala.rabit.
* More code refactoring and comments.
* Unified timeout constants. Readable tracker status code.
* Add comments to indicate that allReduce is for tests only. Removed all other variants.
* Removed unused imports.
* Simplified signatures of training methods.
- Moved TrackerConf into parameter map.
- Changed GeneralParams so that TrackerConf becomes a standalone parameter.
- Updated test cases accordingly.
* Changed monitoring strategies.
* Reverted monitoring changes.
* Update test case for Rabit AllReduce.
* Mix in UncaughtExceptionHandler into IRabitTracker to prevent tracker from hanging due to exceptions thrown by workers.
* More comprehensive test cases for exception handling and worker connection timeout.
* Handle executor loss due to unknown cause: the newly spawned executor will attempt to connect to the tracker. Interrupt tracker in such case.
* Per code-review, removed training timeout from TrackerConf. Timeout logic must be implemented explicitly and externally in the driver code.
* Reverted scalastyle-config changes.
* Visibility scope change. Interface tweaks.
* Use match pattern to handle tracker_conf parameter.
* Minor clarification in JNI code.
* Clearer intent in match pattern to suppress warnings.
* Removed Future from constructor. Block in start() and waitFor() instead.
* Revert inadvertent comment changes.
* Removed debugging information.
* Updated test cases that are a bit finicky.
* Added comments on the reasoning behind the unit tests for testing Rabit tracker robustness.
* Changes for Mingw64 compilation to ensure long is a consistent size.
Mainly impacts the Java API which would not compile, but there may be
silent errors on Windows with large datasets before this patch (as long
is 32-bits when compiled with mingw64 even in 64-bit mode).
* Adding ifdefs to ensure it still compiles on MacOS
* Makefile and create_jni.bat changes for Windows.
* Switching XGDMatrixCreateFromCSREx JNI call to use size_t cast
* Fixing lint error, adding profile switching to jvm-packages build to make create-jni.bat get called, adding myself to Contributors.Md
