* Combine thread launches into single launch per tree for gpu_hist
algorithm.
* Address deprecation warning
* Add manual column sampler constructor
* Turn off omp dynamic to get a guaranteed number of threads
* Enable openmp in cuda code
* All Linux tests are now in Jenkins CI
* Tests are now de-coupled from builds. We can now build XGBoost with one version of CUDA/JDK and test it with another version of CUDA/JDK
* Builds (compilation) are significantly faster because 1) They use C5 instances with faster CPU cores; and 2) build environment setup is cached using Docker containers
* Improved multi-node multi-GPU random forests.
- removed rabit::Broadcast() from each invocation of column sampling
- instead, syncing the PRNG seed when a ColumnSampler() object is constructed
- this makes non-trivial column sampling significantly faster in the distributed case
- refactored distributed GPU tests
- added distributed random forests tests
* Fix#3402: wrong fid crashes distributed algorithm
The bug was introduced by the recent DMatrix refactor (#3301). It was partially
fixed by #3408 but the example in #3402 was still failing. The example in #3402
will succeed after this fix is applied.
* Explicitly specify "this" to prevent compile error
* Add regression test
* Add distributed test to Travis matrix
* Install kubernetes Python package as dependency of dmlc tracker
* Add Python dependencies
* Add compile step
* Reduce size of regression test case
* Further reduce size of test
