Error when seed exceeds 32-bit integer max #5637
Description
I'm using Xgboost in my AutoML package. I'm currently adding my package to automlbenchmark When running the benchmark test I got very strange error about seed value. The error is below. The minimal code example to reproduce the error is below. When I'm using smaller seed values every thing works as expected.
import xgboost # 1.0.2 version
import numpy as np
X = np.random.rand(100,4)
y = np.random.randint(0,2,100)
train = xgboost.DMatrix(X, label=y)
model = xgboost.train({"seed": 3657279955}, train)
Error message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
