thanks @cbalint13 can you make the xgboost be compatible to both APIs and send in the xgboost change in? This way we do not have to block on ci update

@tqchen ,

Sure, lets make it compatible with anything xgboost>=1.1.0 up to latest 1.7.4 (as of this date).

The android error is not related to this PR. Because check is not dependent on this, i can merge after other CI becomes green

@tqchen , @zxybazh,

Saw the approval a bit late, meanwhile I just re-pushed PR (very same code, no changes).
I worried due to the failing "CI Android (pull_request)" a unrelated, maybe a temporary CI failure.

To sum the current state:

• All CI test was in green (except Android) at time of approval.
• The actual code is 1:1 same with the moment of approval.

I stop right here unless explicit code change is requested.

Thanks,
~Cristian.

I noticed similar flakiness on Android earlier today, which is unlikely relevant to your change. Don’t worry about it. We will merge it in ASAP
