    Parameters
    ----------
    client : dask.distributed.Client
        Dask client.
    data : Dask Array or Dask DataFrame of shape = [n_samples, n_features]
        Input feature matrix.
    label : Dask Array, Dask DataFrame or Dask Series of shape = [n_samples]
        The target values (class labels in classification, real numbers in regression).
    params : dict
        Parameters passed to constructor of the local underlying model.
    model_factory : lightgbm.LGBMClassifier, lightgbm.LGBMRegressor, or lightgbm.LGBMRanker class
        Class of the local underlying model.
    sample_weight : Dask Array or Dask Series of shape = [n_samples] or None, optional (default=None)
        Weights of training data. Weights should be non-negative.
    init_score : Dask Array or Dask Series of shape = [n_samples] or shape = [n_samples * n_classes] (for multi-class task), or Dask Array or Dask DataFrame of shape = [n_samples, n_classes] (for multi-class task), or None, optional (default=None)
        Init score of training data.
    group : Dask Array or Dask Series or None, optional (default=None)
        Group/query data.
        Only used in the learning-to-rank task.
        sum(group) = n_samples.
        For example, if you have a 100-document dataset with ``group = [10, 20, 40, 10, 10, 10]``, that means that you have 6 groups,
        where the first 10 records are in the first group, records 11-30 are in the second group, records 31-70 are in the third group, etc.
    eval_set : list of (X, y) tuples of Dask data collections, or None, optional (default=None)
        List of (X, y) tuple pairs to use as validation sets.
        Note, that not all workers may receive chunks of every eval set within ``eval_set``. When the returned
        lightgbm estimator is not trained using any chunks of a particular eval set, its corresponding component
        of ``evals_result_`` and ``best_score_`` will be empty dictionaries.
    eval_names : list of str, or None, optional (default=None)
        Names of eval_set.
    eval_sample_weight : list of Dask Array or Dask Series, or None, optional (default=None)
        Weights for each validation set in eval_set. Weights should be non-negative.
    eval_class_weight : list of dict or str, or None, optional (default=None)
        Class weights, one dict or str for each validation set in eval_set.
    eval_init_score : list of Dask Array, Dask Series or Dask DataFrame (for multi-class task), or None, optional (default=None)
        Initial model score for each validation set in eval_set.
    eval_group : list of Dask Array or Dask Series, or None, optional (default=None)
        Group/query for each validation set in eval_set.
    eval_metric : str, callable, list or None, optional (default=None)
        If str, it should be a built-in evaluation metric to use.
        If callable, it should be a custom evaluation metric, see note below for more details.
        If list, it can be a list of built-in metrics, a list of custom evaluation metrics, or a mix of both.
        In either case, the ``metric`` from the Dask model parameters (or inferred from the objective) will be evaluated and used as well.
        Default: 'l2' for DaskLGBMRegressor, 'binary(multi)_logloss' for DaskLGBMClassifier, 'ndcg' for DaskLGBMRanker.
    eval_at : list or tuple of int, optional (default=None)
        The evaluation positions of the specified ranking metric.
    **kwargs
        Other parameters passed to ``fit`` method of the local underlying model.

    Returns
    -------
    model : lightgbm.LGBMClassifier, lightgbm.LGBMRegressor, or lightgbm.LGBMRanker class
        Returns fitted underlying model.

    Note
    ----

    This method handles setting up the following network parameters based on information
    about the Dask cluster referenced by ``client``.

    * ``local_listen_port``: port that each LightGBM worker opens a listening socket on,
            to accept connections from other workers. This can differ from LightGBM worker
            to LightGBM worker, but does not have to.
    * ``machines``: a comma-delimited list of all workers in the cluster, in the
            form ``ip:port,ip:port``. If running multiple Dask workers on the same host, use different
            ports for each worker. For example, for ``LocalCluster(n_workers=3)``, you might
            pass ``"127.0.0.1:12400,127.0.0.1:12401,127.0.0.1:12402"``.
    * ``num_machines``: number of LightGBM workers.
    * ``timeout``: time in minutes to wait before closing unused sockets.

    The default behavior of this function is to generate ``machines`` from the list of
    Dask workers which hold some piece of the training data, and to search for an open
    port on each worker to be used as ``local_listen_port``.

    If ``machines`` is provided explicitly in ``params``, this function uses the hosts
    and ports in that list directly, and does not do any searching. This means that if
    any of the Dask workers are missing from the list or any of those ports are not free
    when training starts, training will fail.

    If ``local_listen_port`` is provided in ``params`` and ``machines`` is not, this function
    constructs ``machines`` from the list of Dask workers which hold some piece of the
    training data, assuming that each one will use the same ``local_listen_port``.
