[developers] Why no of weights is more than no of unique features in .events file?

[Faisal Chowdhury]

Never mind. I found the reason why those files are not consistent with each
other.

The .event file created inside estimate-model() (and later used by tadm to
create .weights file) is overwritten inside learner-rank-items(). The no. of
items used to write the file inside those two methods are not same. Hence,
the later version of the file contains different no. of unique feature codes
than that of the prior one.

Best,
Faisal
