"""This API defines FeatureColumn abstraction.

FeatureColumns provide a high level abstraction for ingesting and representing
features. FeatureColumns are also the primary way of encoding features for
canned `tf.estimator.Estimator`s.

When using FeatureColumns with `Estimators`, the type of feature column you
should choose depends on (1) the feature type and (2) the model type.

1. Feature type:

  * Continuous features can be represented by `numeric_column`.
  * Categorical features can be represented by any `categorical_column_with_*`
  column:
    - `categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list`
    - `categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file`
    - `categorical_column_with_hash_bucket`
    - `categorical_column_with_identity`
    - `weighted_categorical_column`

2. Model type:

  * Deep neural network models (`DNNClassifier`, `DNNRegressor`).

    Continuous features can be directly fed into deep neural network models.

      age_column = numeric_column("age")

    To feed sparse features into DNN models, wrap the column with
    `embedding_column` or `indicator_column`. `indicator_column` is recommended
    for features with only a few possible values. For features with many
    possible values, to reduce the size of your model, `embedding_column` is
    recommended.

      embedded_dept_column = embedding_column(
          categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list(
              "department", ["math", "philosophy", ...]), dimension=10)

  * Wide (aka linear) models (`LinearClassifier`, `LinearRegressor`).

    Sparse features can be fed directly into linear models. They behave like an
    indicator column but with an efficient implementation.

      dept_column = categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list("department",
          ["math", "philosophy", "english"])

    It is recommended that continuous features be bucketized before being
    fed into linear models.

      bucketized_age_column = bucketized_column(
          source_column=age_column,
          boundaries=[18, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65])

    Sparse features can be crossed (also known as conjuncted or combined) in
    order to form non-linearities, and then fed into linear models.

      cross_dept_age_column = crossed_column(
          columns=["department", bucketized_age_column],
          hash_bucket_size=1000)

Example of building canned `Estimator`s using FeatureColumns:

  ```python
  # Define features and transformations
  deep_feature_columns = [age_column, embedded_dept_column]
  wide_feature_columns = [dept_column, bucketized_age_column,
      cross_dept_age_column]

  # Build deep model
  estimator = DNNClassifier(
      feature_columns=deep_feature_columns,
      hidden_units=[500, 250, 50])
  estimator.train(...)

  # Or build a wide model
  estimator = LinearClassifier(
      feature_columns=wide_feature_columns)
  estimator.train(...)

  # Or build a wide and deep model!
  estimator = DNNLinearCombinedClassifier(
      linear_feature_columns=wide_feature_columns,
      dnn_feature_columns=deep_feature_columns,
      dnn_hidden_units=[500, 250, 50])
  estimator.train(...)
  ```


FeatureColumns can also be transformed into a generic input layer for
custom models using `input_layer`.

Example of building model using FeatureColumns, this can be used in a
`model_fn` which is given to the {tf.estimator.Estimator}:

  ```python
  # Building model via layers

  deep_feature_columns = [age_column, embedded_dept_column]
  columns_to_tensor = parse_feature_columns_from_examples(
      serialized=my_data,
      feature_columns=deep_feature_columns)
  first_layer = input_layer(
      features=columns_to_tensor,
      feature_columns=deep_feature_columns)
  second_layer = fully_connected(first_layer, ...)
  ```

the API subject to change, and should not be relied upon!

    categorical_column: A `CategoricalColumn` created by a
      `categorical_column_with_*` function. This column produces the sparse IDs
      that are inputs to the embedding lookup.
    dimension: An integer specifying dimension of the embedding, must be > 0.
    combiner: A string specifying how to reduce if there are multiple entries in
      a single row. Currently 'mean', 'sqrtn' and 'sum' are supported, with
      'mean' the default. 'sqrtn' often achieves good accuracy, in particular
      with bag-of-words columns. Each of this can be thought as example level
      normalizations on the column. For more information, see
      `tf.embedding_lookup_sparse`.
    initializer: A variable initializer function to be used in embedding
      variable initialization. If not specified, defaults to
      `truncated_normal_initializer` with mean `0.0` and
      standard deviation `1/sqrt(dimension)`.
    ckpt_to_load_from: String representing checkpoint name/pattern from which to
      restore column weights. Required if `tensor_name_in_ckpt` is not `None`.
    tensor_name_in_ckpt: Name of the `Tensor` in `ckpt_to_load_from` from which
      to restore the column weights. Required if `ckpt_to_load_from` is not
      `None`.
    max_norm: If not `None`, embedding values are l2-normalized to this value.
    trainable: Whether or not the embedding is trainable. Default is True.
    use_safe_embedding_lookup: If true, uses safe_embedding_lookup_sparse
      instead of embedding_lookup_sparse. safe_embedding_lookup_sparse ensures
      there are no empty rows and all weights and ids are positive at the
      expense of extra compute cost. This only applies to rank 2 (NxM) shaped
      input tensors. Defaults to true, consider turning off if the above checks
      are not needed. Note that having empty rows will not trigger any error
      though the output result might be 0 or omitted.

  Returns:
    `DenseColumn` that converts from sparse input.

  """List of dense columns that convert from sparse, categorical input.

  This is similar to `embedding_column`, except that it produces a list of
  embedding columns that share the same embedding weights.

  Use this when your inputs are sparse and of the same type (e.g. watched and
  impression video IDs that share the same vocabulary), and you want to convert
  them to a dense representation (e.g., to feed to a DNN).

  Inputs must be a list of categorical columns created by any of the
  `categorical_column_*` function. They must all be of the same type and have
  the same arguments except `key`. E.g. they can be
  categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file with the same vocabulary_file. Some or
  all columns could also be weighted_categorical_column.

  Here is an example embedding of two features for a DNNClassifier model:

  ```python
  watched_video_id = categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file(
      'watched_video_id', video_vocabulary_file, video_vocabulary_size)
  impression_video_id = categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file(
      'impression_video_id', video_vocabulary_file, video_vocabulary_size)
  columns = shared_embedding_columns(
      [watched_video_id, impression_video_id], dimension=10)

  estimator = tf.estimator.DNNClassifier(feature_columns=columns, ...)

    labels = features.pop(label_column.name)
    return features, labels

  estimator.train(input_fn=input_fn, steps=100)
  ```

  Here is an example using `shared_embedding_columns` with model_fn:

  ```python
  def model_fn(features, ...):
    watched_video_id = categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file(
        'watched_video_id', video_vocabulary_file, video_vocabulary_size)

    ...
  ```

  Args:
    categorical_columns: List of categorical columns created by a
      `categorical_column_with_*` function. These columns produce the sparse IDs
      that are inputs to the embedding lookup. All columns must be of the same
      type and have the same arguments except `key`. E.g. they can be
      categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file with the same vocabulary_file.
      Some or all columns could also be weighted_categorical_column.
    dimension: An integer specifying dimension of the embedding, must be > 0.
    combiner: A string specifying how to reduce if there are multiple entries in
      a single row. Currently 'mean', 'sqrtn' and 'sum' are supported, with
      'mean' the default. 'sqrtn' often achieves good accuracy, in particular
      with bag-of-words columns. Each of this can be thought as example level
      normalizations on the column. For more information, see
      `tf.embedding_lookup_sparse`.
    initializer: A variable initializer function to be used in embedding
      variable initialization. If not specified, defaults to
      `truncated_normal_initializer` with mean `0.0` and
      standard deviation `1/sqrt(dimension)`.
    shared_embedding_collection_name: Optional name of the collection where
      shared embedding weights are added. If not given, a reasonable name will
      be chosen based on the names of `categorical_columns`. This is also used
      in `variable_scope` when creating shared embedding weights.
    ckpt_to_load_from: String representing checkpoint name/pattern from which to
      restore column weights. Required if `tensor_name_in_ckpt` is not `None`.
    tensor_name_in_ckpt: Name of the `Tensor` in `ckpt_to_load_from` from which
      to restore the column weights. Required if `ckpt_to_load_from` is not
      `None`.
    max_norm: If not `None`, each embedding is clipped if its l2-norm is larger
      than this value, before combining.
    trainable: Whether or not the embedding is trainable. Default is True.
    use_safe_embedding_lookup: If true, uses safe_embedding_lookup_sparse
      instead of embedding_lookup_sparse. safe_embedding_lookup_sparse ensures
      there are no empty rows and all weights and ids are positive at the
      expense of extra compute cost. This only applies to rank 2 (NxM) shaped
      input tensors. Defaults to true, consider turning off if the above checks
      are not needed. Note that having empty rows will not trigger any error
      though the output result might be 0 or omitted.

  Returns:
    A list of dense columns that converts from sparse input. The order of
    results follows the ordering of `categorical_columns`.

  Raises:

    dtype: defines the type of values. Default value is `tf.float32`. Must be a
      non-quantized, real integer or floating point type.
    normalizer_fn: If not `None`, a function that can be used to normalize the
      value of the tensor after `default_value` is applied for parsing.
      Normalizer function takes the input `Tensor` as its argument, and returns

  Buckets include the left boundary, and exclude the right boundary. Namely,
  `boundaries=[0., 1., 2.]` generates buckets `(-inf, 0.)`, `[0., 1.)`,
  `[1., 2.)`, and `[2., +inf)`.

  For example, if the inputs are

  ```python
  boundaries = [0, 10, 100]
  input tensor = [[-5, 10000]
                  [150,   10]
                  [5,    100]]
  ```

  then the output will be

  ```python
  output = [[0, 3]
            [3, 2]
            [1, 3]]
  ```

  Example:

  ```python
  price = tf.feature_column.numeric_column('price')
  bucketized_price = tf.feature_column.bucketized_column(
      price, boundaries=[...])
  columns = [bucketized_price, ...]

  dense_tensor = tf.keras.layers.DenseFeatures(columns)(features)

  A `bucketized_column` can also be crossed with another categorical column
  using `crossed_column`:

  ```python
  price = tf.feature_column.numeric_column('price')
  # bucketized_column converts numerical feature to a categorical one.
  bucketized_price = tf.feature_column.bucketized_column(
      price, boundaries=[...])
  # 'keywords' is a string feature.
  price_x_keywords = tf.feature_column.crossed_column(
      [bucketized_price, 'keywords'], 50K)

  `SparseTensor`. If `Tensor`, missing values can be represented by `-1` for int
  and `''` for string, which will be dropped by this feature column.

  In the following examples, each input in the range `[0, 1000000)` is assigned
  the same value. All other inputs are assigned `default_value` 0. Note that a
  literal 0 in inputs will result in the same default ID.

  Linear model:

  ```python
  import tensorflow as tf
  video_id = tf.feature_column.categorical_column_with_identity(
      key='video_id', num_buckets=1000000, default_value=0)
  columns = [video_id]

  [33,78, 2, 73, 1]])}
  linear_prediction = tf.compat.v1.feature_column.linear_model(features,
  columns)
  ```

  Crossed features will be hashed according to `hash_bucket_size`. Conceptually,
  the transformation can be thought of as:
    Hash(cartesian product of features) % `hash_bucket_size`

  For example, if the input features are:

  * SparseTensor referred by first key:

    ```python
    shape = [2, 2]
    {
        [0, 0]: "a"
        [1, 0]: "b"
        [1, 1]: "c"
    }
    ```

  * SparseTensor referred by second key:

    ```python
    shape = [2, 1]
    {
        [0, 0]: "d"
        [1, 0]: "e"
    }
    ```

  then crossed feature will look like:

  ```python
   shape = [2, 2]
  {
      [0, 0]: Hash64("d", Hash64("a")) % hash_bucket_size
      [1, 0]: Hash64("e", Hash64("b")) % hash_bucket_size
      [1, 1]: Hash64("e", Hash64("c")) % hash_bucket_size
  }
  ```

  Here is an example to create a linear model with crosses of string features:

  ```python
  keywords_x_doc_terms = crossed_column(['keywords', 'doc_terms'], 50K)
  columns = [keywords_x_doc_terms, ...]
  features = tf.io.parse_example(..., features=make_parse_example_spec(columns))
  linear_prediction = linear_model(features, columns)
  ```

  You could also use vocabulary lookup before crossing:

  ```python
  keywords = categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file(
      'keywords', '/path/to/vocabulary/file', vocabulary_size=1K)
  keywords_x_doc_terms = crossed_column([keywords, 'doc_terms'], 50K)
  columns = [keywords_x_doc_terms, ...]
  features = tf.io.parse_example(..., features=make_parse_example_spec(columns))
  linear_prediction = linear_model(features, columns)
  ```

  If an input feature is of numeric type, you can use
  `categorical_column_with_identity`, or `bucketized_column`, as in the example:

  ```python
  # vertical_id is an integer categorical feature.
  vertical_id = categorical_column_with_identity('vertical_id', 10K)
  price = numeric_column('price')
  # bucketized_column converts numerical feature to a categorical one.
  bucketized_price = bucketized_column(price, boundaries=[...])
  vertical_id_x_price = crossed_column([vertical_id, bucketized_price], 50K)
  columns = [vertical_id_x_price, ...]
  features = tf.io.parse_example(..., features=make_parse_example_spec(columns))
  linear_prediction = linear_model(features, columns)
  ```

  To use crossed column in DNN model, you need to add it in an embedding column
  as in this example:

  ```python
  vertical_id_x_price = crossed_column([vertical_id, bucketized_price], 50K)
  vertical_id_x_price_embedded = embedding_column(vertical_id_x_price, 10)
  dense_tensor = input_layer(features, [vertical_id_x_price_embedded, ...])
  ```

  Args:
    keys: An iterable identifying the features to be crossed. Each element can
      be either:
      * string: Will use the corresponding feature which must be of string type.
      * `CategoricalColumn`: Will use the transformed tensor produced by this
        column. Does not support hashed categorical column.
    hash_bucket_size: An int > 1. The number of buckets.
    hash_key: Specify the hash_key that will be used by the `FingerprintCat64`
      function to combine the crosses fingerprints on SparseCrossOp (optional).

  Returns:
    A `CrossedColumn`.

  Raises:
    ValueError: If `len(keys) < 2`.
    ValueError: If any of the keys is neither a string nor `CategoricalColumn`.
    ValueError: If any of the keys is `HashedCategoricalColumn`.

  `FeatureTransformationCache` caches all previously transformed columns.

  Example:
  We're trying to use the following `FeatureColumn`s:

  ```python
  bucketized_age = fc.bucketized_column(fc.numeric_column("age"), ...)
  keywords = fc.categorical_column_with_hash_buckets("keywords", ...)
