- warning: 'void* memset(void*, int, size_t)' clearing an object of non-trivial type 'struct LightGBM::HistogramBinEntry'; use assignment or value-initialization instead [-Wclass-memaccess]
- warning: 'void* memcpy(void*, const void*, size_t)' writing to an object of type 'class std::tuple<int, double, double>' with no trivial copy-assignment; use copy-assignment or copy-initialization instead [-Wclass-memaccess]

* void*

* Read and write datsets from hdfs.
* Only enabled when cmake is run with -DUSE_HDFS:BOOL=TRUE
* Introduces VirtualFile(Reader|Writer) to asbtract VFS differences

* Update dataset.cpp

* Update dataset.cpp

While in parallel training, when one worker have 0 data, then it will not execute ConstructHistogram.
if so, ptr_smaller_leaf_hist_data will not be 0 but the old data. that will get the wrong Histogram, and the wrong split info.

A space is needed between `#` and the headers content according to Github's markdown format [guideline](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/)

After adding the spaces, we can jump to the exact position in page by click the link.
