    This class is used to coordinate distributed training. It is a singleton class, which means that there is only one instance of this
    class in the whole program.

    There are some terms that are used in this class:
        - rank: the rank of the current process
        - world size: the total number of processes
        - local rank: the rank of the current process on the current node
        - master: the process with rank 0
        - node master: the process with local rank 0 on the current node

    Example:
        >>> from colossalai.cluster.dist_coordinator import DistCoordinator
        >>> coordinator = DistCoordinator()
        >>>
        >>> if coordinator.is_master():

        rank (int): the rank of the current process
        world_size (int): the total number of processes
