/**
 * Interface for Rabit tracker implementations with three public methods:
 *
 *  - start(timeout): Start the Rabit tracker awaiting for worker connections, with a given
 *  timeout value (in milliseconds.)
 *  - getWorkerEnvs(): Return the environment variables needed to initialize Rabit clients.
 *  - waitFor(timeout): Wait for the task execution by the worker nodes for at most `timeout`
 *  milliseconds.
 *
 * Each implementation is expected to implement a callback function
 *
 *    public void uncaughtException(Threat t, Throwable e) { ... }
 *
 * to interrupt waitFor() in order to prevent the tracker from hanging indefinitely.
 *
 * The Rabit tracker handles connections from distributed workers, assigns ranks to workers, and
 * brokers connections between workers.
