Other than modularizing the split evaluation function, this PR also removes some more functions including `InitNewNodes` and `BuildNodeStats` among some other unused variables. Also, scattered code like setting leaf weights is grouped into the split evaluator and `NodeEntry` is simplified and made private. Another subtle difference with the original implementation is that the modified code doesn't call `tree[nidx].Parent()` to traversal upward.

The guard protects the global variable from being changed by XGBoost. But this leads to a
bug that the `n_threads` parameter is no longer used after the first iteration. This is
due to the fact that `omp_set_num_threads` is only called once in `Learner::Configure` at
the beginning of the training process.
The guard is still useful for `gpu_id`, since this is called all the times in our codebase
doesn't matter which iteration we are currently running.
* Re-implement ROC-AUC.
* Binary
* MultiClass
* LTR
* Add documents.
This PR resolves a few issues:
- Define a value when the dataset is invalid, which can happen if there's an
empty dataset, or when the dataset contains only positive or negative values.
- Define ROC-AUC for multi-class classification.
- Define weighted average value for distributed setting.
- A correct implementation for learning to rank task. Previous
implementation is just binary classification with averaging across groups,
which doesn't measure ordered learning to rank.
* Ensure RMM is 0.18 or later
* Add use_rmm flag to global configuration
* Modify XGBCachingDeviceAllocatorImpl to skip CUB when use_rmm=True
* Update the demo
* [CI] Pin NumPy to 1.19.4, since NumPy 1.19.5 doesn't work with latest Shap
* Save feature info in booster in JSON model.
* [breaking] Remove automatic feature name generation in `DMatrix`.
This PR is to enable reliable feature validation in Python package.
* Use normal predictor for dart booster.
* Implement `inplace_predict` for dart.
* Enable `dart` for dask interface now that it's thread-safe.
* categorical data should be working out of box for dart now.
The implementation is not very efficient as it has to pull back the data and
apply weight for each tree, but still a significant improvement over previous
implementation as now we no longer binary search for each sample.
* Fix output prediction shape on dataframe.
* Stop printing out message.
* Remove R specialization.
The printed message is not really useful anyway, without a reproducible example
there's no way to fix it. But if there's a reproducible example, we can always
obtain these information by a debugger. Removing the `printf` function avoids
creating the context in kernel.
* Add a new API function for predicting on `DMatrix`. This function aligns
with rest of the `XGBoosterPredictFrom*` functions on semantic of function
arguments.
* Purge `ntree_limit` from libxgboost, use iteration instead.
* [dask] Use `inplace_predict` by default for dask sklearn models.
* [dask] Run prediction shape inference on worker instead of client.
The breaking change is in the Python sklearn `apply` function, I made it to be
consistent with other prediction functions where `best_iteration` is used by
default.
* Accept array interface for csr and array.
* Accept an optional proxy dmatrix for metainfo.
This constructs an explicit `_ProxyDMatrix` type in Python.
* Remove unused doc.
* Add strict output.
* Initial support for distributed LTR using dask.
* Support `qid` in libxgboost.
* Refactor `predict` and `n_features_in_`, `best_[score/iteration/ntree_limit]`
to avoid duplicated code.
* Define `DaskXGBRanker`.
The dask ranker doesn't support group structure, instead it uses query id and
convert to group ptr internally.
* Add management functions for global configuration: XGBSetGlobalConfig(), XGBGetGlobalConfig().
* Add Python interface: set_config(), get_config(), and config_context().
* Add unit tests for Python
* Add R interface: xgb.set.config(), xgb.get.config()
* Add unit tests for R
