tf.contrib.learn.read_keyed_batch_examples_shared_queue

Adds operations to read, queue, batch Example protos. (deprecated)

Given file pattern (or list of files), will setup a shared queue for file names, setup a worker queue that pulls from the shared queue, read Example protos using provided reader, use batch queue to create batches of examples of size batch_size. This provides at most once visit guarantees. Note that this only works if the parameter servers are not pre-empted or restarted or the session is not restored from a checkpoint since the state of a queue is not checkpointed and we will end up restarting from the entire list of files.

All queue runners are added to the queue runners collection, and may be started via start_queue_runners.

All ops are added to the default graph.

Use parse_fn if you need to do parsing / processing on single examples.

Args
file_pattern List of files or patterns of file paths containing Example records. See tf.io.gfile.glob for pattern rules.
batch_size An int or scalar Tensor specifying the batch size to use.
reader A function or class that returns an object with read method, (filename tensor) -> (example tensor).
randomize_input Whether the input should be randomized.
num_epochs Integer specifying the number of times to read through the dataset. If None, cycles through the dataset forever. NOTE - If specified, creates a variable that must be initialized, so call tf.compat.v1.local_variables_initializer() and run the op in a session.
queue_capacity Capacity for input queue.
num_threads The number of threads enqueuing examples.
read_batch_size An int or scalar Tensor specifying the number of records to read at once.
parse_fn Parsing function, takes Example Tensor returns parsed representation. If None, no parsing is done.
name Name of resulting op.
seed An integer (optional). Seed used if randomize_input == True.
Returns
Returns tuple of:
  • Tensor of string keys.
  • String Tensor of batched Example proto.
Raises
ValueError for invalid inputs.
