 * To avoid type conversion on large data, the most of our exposed interface supports both float32 and float64,
 * except the following:
 *   1. gradient and Hessian;
 *   2. current score for training and validation data.
 *   .
 * The reason is that they are called frequently, and the type conversion on them may be time-cost.
