Contributions summary:Eric primarily contributed to the project by modifying and creating scripts related to running XGBoost jobs on Hadoop YARN. These changes involved updating `rabit_yarn.py` to configure job parameters like memory, timeout, and CPU cores. They also created and modified shell scripts like `run_yarn_mushroom.sh` to streamline the job submission process, including setting up data in HDFS and retrieving results. This work indicates a focus on deploying and managing the execution of XGBoost models within a Hadoop environment.
