Impossible to reproduce model results

[kylejn27]

Initially an issue on dask-xgboost with setting the seed parameter and getting non-deterministic results: dask/dask-xgboost#37

I'm thinking this is a problem with xgboost 0.90 that was fixed in the latest master branch here:
7e72a12#diff-fd53d68e0037d3512896122d1248d969L1128

I built dmlc/xgboost from master and the issue seemed to go away, maybe a release can be cut?

@kylejn27 In #4680, we are discussing about making an interim release. In the meanwhile, you can install the latest master by running

pip3 install https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/xgboost-nightly-builds/xgboost-1.0.0_SNAPSHOT%2B6ec7e300bd704e0c4ed84b005dfc82d844787ba4-py2.py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

Closing this, since you said that the problem was resolved in the latest master.
