-#' The \code{name} field can be one of the following:
-#'
-#' \itemize{
-#'     \item \code{label}: label lightgbm learn from ;
-#'     \item \code{weight}: to do a weight rescale ;

-#'         group rows together as ordered results from the same set of candidate results to be ranked.
-#'         For example, if you have a 100-document dataset with \code{group = c(10, 20, 40, 10, 10, 10)},
-#'         that means that you have 6 groups, where the first 10 records are in the first group,
-#'         records 11-30 are in the second group, etc.}
