Prerequisites

Please answer the following questions for yourself before submitting an issue.

• [ x] I am using the latest TensorFlow Model Garden release and TensorFlow 2.
• [ x] I am reporting the issue to the correct repository. (Model Garden official or research directory)
• [ x] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed.

1. The entire URL of the file you are using

https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/object_detection/model_main_tf2.py

2. Describe the bug

I can't load the dataset as it requires eager_execution, which I thought should already initiated in tf2

3. Steps to reproduce

I follow the guidance in here
Run model_main_tf2.py with ssd_mobilenet_v2 checkpoint from the model zoo

4. Expected behavior
