In those 5.5 years since #1970, the only bug reports / feature requests received about datatable support have been from one person working for h2o... and the last of those was 4 years ago:
I am not proposing here that lightgbm should support H2OFrame... Dask doesn't, XGBoost doesn't, scikit-learn doesn't... and I think our limited time and attention here would be better spent on more widely-used input formats, like polars.

Summary
Support for the h2o's
datatable
library was added to LightGBM 5.5+ years ago, in #1970.Proposing here that
lightgbm
:datatable
is useddatatable
support 2-3 releases from nowMotivation
That project seems to be abandoned:
H2OFrame
in theh20-py
package:In those 5.5 years since #1970, the only bug reports / feature requests received about

support have been from one person working for h2o... and the last of those was 4 years ago:And in all that time, I don't think we have ever tested against
datatable
in CI.Description
Doing this would simplify the Python package, making it easier for others to contribute.
It'd also make it more manageable to add support for newer, more popular input formats like
polars
(#6204).See @trivialfis's summary of the current state of supporting data frame libraries at dmlc/xgboost#10554 (comment) ... I agree with it.
