  """Specifies how to shard data among tf.data service workers.

  OFF: No sharding will be performed. Each worker produces the entire dataset
  without any sharding. With this mode, the best practice is to shuffle the
  dataset nondeterministically so that workers process the dataset in different
  orders. If workers are restarted or join the cluster mid-job, they will begin
  processing the dataset from the beginning.

  DYNAMIC: The input dataset is dynamically split among workers at runtime. Each
  worker gets the next split when it reads data from the dispatcher. Data is
  produced non-deterministically in this mode. Dynamic sharding works well with
  varying-sized tf.data service clusters, e.g., when you need to auto-scale your
  workers. Dynamic sharding provides at-most once visitation guarantees. No
  examples will be repeated, but some may be missed if a tf.data service worker
  gets restarted while processing a file.

  The following are static sharding policies. The semantics are similar to
  `tf.data.experimental.AutoShardPolicy`. These policies require:
  * The tf.data service cluster is configured with a fixed list of workers
    in DispatcherConfig.
  * Each client only reads from the local tf.data service worker.

  If a worker is restarted while performing static sharding, the worker will
  begin processing its shard again from the beginning.

  FILE: Shards by input files (i.e. each worker will get a fixed set of files to
  process). When this option is selected, make sure that there is at least as
  many files as workers. If there are fewer input files than workers, a runtime
  error will be raised.

  DATA: Shards by elements produced by the dataset. Each worker will process the
  whole dataset and discard the portion that is not for itself. Note that for
  this mode to correctly partition the dataset elements, the dataset needs to
  produce elements in a deterministic order.

  FILE_OR_DATA: Attempts FILE-based sharding, falling back to DATA-based
  sharding on failure.

  HINT: Looks for the presence of `shard(SHARD_HINT, ...)` which is treated as a
  placeholder to replace with `shard(num_workers, worker_index)`.

  """A transformation that moves dataset processing to the tf.data service.

  When you iterate over a dataset containing the `distribute` transformation,
  the tf.data service creates a "job" which produces data for the dataset
  iteration.

  The tf.data service uses a cluster of workers to prepare data for training
  your model.
  The `processing_mode` argument to `tf.data.experimental.service.distribute`
  describes how to leverage multiple workers to process the input dataset.
  Currently, there are two processing modes to choose from: "distributed_epoch"
  and "parallel_epochs".

  "distributed_epoch" means that the dataset will be split across all tf.data
  service workers.
  The dispatcher produces "splits" for the dataset and sends them to workers for
  further processing. For example, if a dataset begins with a list of filenames,
  the dispatcher will iterate through the filenames and send the filenames to
  tf.data workers, which will perform the rest of the dataset transformations on
  those files. "distributed_epoch" is useful when your model needs to see each
  element of the dataset exactly once, or if it needs to see the data in a
  generally-sequential order. "distributed_epoch" only works for datasets with
  splittable sources, such as `Dataset.from_tensor_slices`,
  `Dataset.list_files`, or `Dataset.range`.

  "parallel_epochs" means that the entire input dataset will be processed
  independently by each of the tf.data service workers.
  For this reason, it is important to shuffle data (e.g. filenames)
  non-deterministically, so that each worker will process the elements of the
  dataset in a different order. "parallel_epochs" can be used to distribute
  datasets that aren't splittable.

  With two workers, "parallel_epochs" will produce every element of the dataset
  twice:

  >>> dispatcher = tf.data.experimental.service.DispatchServer()
  >>> dispatcher_address = dispatcher.target.split("://")[1]
  >>> # Start two workers
  >>> workers = [
  ...     tf.data.experimental.service.WorkerServer(
  ...         tf.data.experimental.service.WorkerConfig(
  ...             dispatcher_address=dispatcher_address)) for _ in range(2)
  ... ]
  >>> dataset = tf.data.Dataset.range(10)
  >>> dataset = dataset.apply(tf.data.experimental.service.distribute(
  ...     processing_mode="parallel_epochs", service=dispatcher.target))
  >>> print(sorted(list(dataset.as_numpy_iterator())))
  [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9]

  "distributed_epoch", on the other hand, will still produce each element once:

  >>> dispatcher = tf.data.experimental.service.DispatchServer()
  >>> dispatcher_address = dispatcher.target.split("://")[1]
  >>> workers = [
  ...     tf.data.experimental.service.WorkerServer(
  ...         tf.data.experimental.service.WorkerConfig(
  ...             dispatcher_address=dispatcher_address)) for _ in range(2)
  ... ]
  >>> dataset = tf.data.Dataset.range(10)
  >>> dataset = dataset.apply(tf.data.experimental.service.distribute(
  ...     processing_mode="distributed_epoch", service=dispatcher.target))
  >>> print(sorted(list(dataset.as_numpy_iterator())))
  [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

  When using `apply(tf.data.experimental.service.distribute(...))`, the dataset
  before the `apply` transformation executes within the tf.data service, while
  the operations after `apply` happen within the local process.

  >>> dispatcher = tf.data.experimental.service.DispatchServer()
  >>> dispatcher_address = dispatcher.target.split("://")[1]
  >>> workers = [
  ...     tf.data.experimental.service.WorkerServer(
  ...         tf.data.experimental.service.WorkerConfig(
  ...             dispatcher_address=dispatcher_address)) for _ in range(2)
  ... ]
  >>> dataset = tf.data.Dataset.range(5)
  >>> dataset = dataset.map(lambda x: x*x)
  >>> dataset = dataset.apply(
  ...    tf.data.experimental.service.distribute("parallel_epochs",
  ...                                            dispatcher.target))
  >>> dataset = dataset.map(lambda x: x+1)
  >>> print(sorted(list(dataset.as_numpy_iterator())))
  [1, 1, 2, 2, 5, 5, 10, 10, 17, 17]

  In the above example, the dataset operations (before applying the `distribute`
  function on the elements) will be executed on the tf.data workers,
  and the elements are provided over RPC. The remaining transformations
  (after the call to `distribute`) will be executed locally. The dispatcher
  and the workers will bind to usused free ports (which are chosen at random),
  in order to communicate with each other. However, to bind them to specific
  ports, the `port` parameter can be passed.

  The `job_name` argument allows jobs to be shared across multiple
  datasets. Instead of each dataset creating its own job, all
  datasets with the same `job_name` will consume from the same job. A new job
  will be created for each iteration of the dataset (with each repetition of
  `Dataset.repeat` counting as a new iteration). Suppose the `DispatchServer`
  is serving on `localhost:5000` and two training workers (in either a single
  client or multi-client setup) iterate over the below dataset, and there is a
  single tf.data worker:

  ```
  range5_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.range(5)
  dataset = range5_dataset.apply(tf.data.experimental.service.distribute(
      "parallel_epochs", "localhost:5000", job_name="my_job_name"))
  for iteration in range(3):
    print(list(dataset))
  ```

  The elements of each job will be split between the two processes, with
  elements being consumed by the processes on a first-come first-served basis.
  One possible result is that process 1 prints

  ```
  [0, 2, 4]
  [0, 1, 3]
  [1]
  ```

  and process 2 prints

  ```
  [1, 3]
  [2, 4]
  [0, 2, 3, 4]
  ```

  Job names must not be re-used across different training jobs within the
  lifetime of the tf.data service. In general, the tf.data service is expected
  to live for the duration of a single training job.
  To use the tf.data service with multiple training jobs, make sure to use
  different job names to avoid conflicts. For example, suppose a training job
  calls `distribute` with `job_name="job"` and reads until end of input. If
  another independent job connects to the same tf.data service and tries to read
  from `job_name="job"`, it will immediately receive end of input, without
  getting any data.

  **Coordinated data read**

  By default, when multiple consumers read from the same job, they receive data
  on a first-come first-served basis. In some use cases, it is advantageous to
  coordinate the consumers. At each step, consumers read data from the same
  worker.

  For example, the tf.data service can be used to coordinate example sizes
  across a cluster during synchronous training, so that during each step all
  replicas train on similar-sized elements. To achieve this, define a dataset
  which generates rounds of `num_consumers` consecutive similar-sized batches,
  then enable coordinated reads by setting `consumer_index` and `num_consumers`.

  NOTE: To keep consumers in sync, round robin data consumption requires that
  the dataset have infinite cardinality. You can get this by adding `.repeat()`
  at the end of the dataset definition.

  **Keras and Distribution Strategies**

  The dataset produced by the `distribute` transformation can be passed to
  Keras' `Model.fit` or Distribution Strategy's
  `tf.distribute.Strategy.experimental_distribute_dataset` like any other
  `tf.data.Dataset`. We recommend setting a `job_name` on the call to
  `distribute` so that if there are multiple workers, they read data from the
  same job. Note that the autosharding normally performed by
  `experimental_distribute_dataset` will be disabled when setting a `job_name`,
  since sharing the job already results in splitting data across the workers.
  When using a shared job, data will be dynamically balanced across workers, so
  that they reach end of input about the same time. This results in better
  worker utilization than with autosharding, where each worker processes an
  independent set of files, and some workers may run out of data earlier than
  others.

  Args:
    processing_mode: A `tf.data.experimental.service.ShardingPolicy` specifying
      how to shard the dataset among tf.data workers. See
      `tf.data.experimental.service.ShardingPolicy` for details. For backwards
      compatibility, `processing_mode` may also be set to the strings
      `"parallel_epochs"` or `"distributed_epoch"`, which are respectively
      equivalent to `ShardingPolicy.OFF` and `ShardingPolicy.DYNAMIC`.
    service: A string or a tuple indicating how to connect to the tf.data
      service. If it's a string, it should be in the format
      `[<protocol>://]<address>`, where `<address>` identifies the dispatcher
        address and `<protocol>` can optionally be used to override the default
        protocol to use. If it's a tuple, it should be (protocol, address).
    job_name: (Optional.) The name of the job. If provided, it must be a
      non-empty string. This argument makes it possible for multiple datasets to
      share the same job. The default behavior is that the dataset creates
      anonymous, exclusively owned jobs.
    consumer_index: (Optional.) The index of the consumer in the range from `0`
      to `num_consumers`. Must be specified alongside `num_consumers`. When
      specified, consumers will read from the job in a strict round-robin order,
      instead of the default first-come-first-served order.
    num_consumers: (Optional.) The number of consumers which will consume from
      the job. Must be specified alongside `consumer_index`. When specified,
      consumers will read from the job in a strict round-robin order, instead of
      the default first-come-first-served order. When `num_consumers` is
      specified, the dataset must have infinite cardinality to prevent a
      producer from running out of data early and causing consumers to go out of
      sync.
    max_outstanding_requests: (Optional.) A limit on how many elements may be
      requested at the same time. You can use this option to control the amount
      of memory used, since `distribute` won't use more than `element_size` *
      `max_outstanding_requests` of memory.
    data_transfer_protocol: (Optional.) The protocol to use for transferring
      data with the tf.data service. By default, data is transferred using gRPC.
    compression: How to compress the dataset's elements before transferring them
      over the network. "AUTO" leaves the decision of how to compress up to the
      tf.data service runtime. `None` indicates not to compress.
    cross_trainer_cache: (Optional.) If a `CrossTrainerCache` object is
      provided, dataset iteration will be shared across concurrently running
      trainers. See
      https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/data/experimental/service#sharing_tfdata_service_with_concurrent_trainers
      for details.
    target_workers: (Optional.) Which workers to read from. If `"AUTO"`, tf.data
      runtime decides which workers to read from. If `"ANY"`, reads from any
      tf.data service workers. If `"LOCAL"`, only reads from local in-processs
      tf.data service workers. `"AUTO"` works well for most cases, while users
      can specify other targets. For example, `"LOCAL"` helps avoid RPCs and
      data copy if every TF worker colocates with a tf.data service worker.
      Consumers of a shared job must use the same `target_workers`. Defaults to
      `"AUTO"`.

    Dataset: A `Dataset` of the elements produced by the data service.

  """Creates a dataset which reads data from the tf.data service.

  This is useful when the dataset is registered by one process, then used in
  another process. When the same process is both registering and reading from
  the dataset, it is simpler to use `tf.data.experimental.service.distribute`
  instead.

  Before using `from_dataset_id`, the dataset must have been registered with the
  tf.data service using `tf.data.experimental.service.register_dataset`.
  `register_dataset` returns a dataset id for the registered dataset. That is
  the `dataset_id` which should be passed to `from_dataset_id`.

  The `element_spec` argument indicates the `tf.TypeSpec`s for the elements
  produced by the dataset. Currently `element_spec` must be explicitly
  specified, and match the dataset registered under `dataset_id`. `element_spec`
  defaults to `None` so that in the future we can support automatically
  discovering the `element_spec` by querying the tf.data service.

  `tf.data.experimental.service.distribute` is a convenience method which
  combines `register_dataset` and `from_dataset_id` into a dataset
  transformation.
  See the documentation for `tf.data.experimental.service.distribute` for more
  detail about how `from_dataset_id` works.

  Args:
    processing_mode: A `tf.data.experimental.service.ShardingPolicy` specifying
      how to shard the dataset among tf.data workers. See
      `tf.data.experimental.service.ShardingPolicy` for details. For backwards
      compatibility, `processing_mode` may also be set to the strings
      `"parallel_epochs"` or `"distributed_epoch"`, which are respectively
      equivalent to `ShardingPolicy.OFF` and `ShardingPolicy.DYNAMIC`.
    service: A string or a tuple indicating how to connect to the tf.data
      service. If it's a string, it should be in the format
      `[<protocol>://]<address>`, where `<address>` identifies the dispatcher
        address and `<protocol>` can optionally be used to override the default
        protocol to use. If it's a tuple, it should be (protocol, address).
    dataset_id: The id of the dataset to read from. This id is returned by
      `register_dataset` when the dataset is registered with the tf.data
      service.
    element_spec: A nested structure of `tf.TypeSpec`s representing the type of
      elements produced by the dataset. This argument is only required inside a
      tf.function. Use `tf.data.Dataset.element_spec` to get the element spec
      for a given dataset.
    job_name: (Optional.) The name of the job. If provided, it must be a
      non-empty string. This argument makes it possible for multiple datasets to
      share the same job. The default behavior is that the dataset creates
      anonymous, exclusively owned jobs.
    consumer_index: (Optional.) The index of the consumer in the range from `0`
      to `num_consumers`. Must be specified alongside `num_consumers`. When
      specified, consumers will read from the job in a strict round-robin order,
      instead of the default first-come-first-served order.
    num_consumers: (Optional.) The number of consumers which will consume from
      the job. Must be specified alongside `consumer_index`. When specified,
      consumers will read from the job in a strict round-robin order, instead of
      the default first-come-first-served order. When `num_consumers` is
      specified, the dataset must have infinite cardinality to prevent a
      producer from running out of data early and causing consumers to go out of
      sync.
    max_outstanding_requests: (Optional.) A limit on how many elements may be
      requested at the same time. You can use this option to control the amount
      of memory used, since `distribute` won't use more than `element_size` *
      `max_outstanding_requests` of memory.
    data_transfer_protocol: (Optional.) The protocol to use for transferring
      data with the tf.data service. By default, data is transferred using gRPC.
    cross_trainer_cache: (Optional.) If a `CrossTrainerCache` object is
      provided, dataset iteration will be shared across concurrently running
      trainers. See
      https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/data/experimental/service#sharing_tfdata_service_with_concurrent_trainers
      for details.
    target_workers: (Optional.) Which workers to read from. If `"AUTO"`, tf.data
      runtime decides which workers to read from. If `"ANY"`, reads from any
      tf.data service workers. If `"LOCAL"`, only reads from local in-processs
      tf.data service workers. `"AUTO"` works well for most cases, while users
      can specify other targets. For example, `"LOCAL"` helps avoid RPCs and
      data copy if every TF worker colocates with a tf.data service worker.
      Consumers of a shared job must use the same `target_workers`. Defaults to
      `"AUTO"`.

  Returns:
    A `tf.data.Dataset` which reads from the tf.data service.
