AlibabaCloud OSS support

[oss-developer]

AlibabaCloud Object Storage Service(OSS) is one of the most widely used cloud stroage services in the world. Could I ask for OSS support with tensorflow?

@oss-developer The file systems and frameworks are now supported by TensorFlow's SIG IO and discussions are mostly done through:
Google Group: https://groups.google.com/a/tensorflow.org/forum/#!forum/io
Repository: https://github.com/tensorflow/io

@yongtang , May I know what difference between https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/tree/master/tensorflow/core/platform and https://github.com/tensorflow/io supports external-filesystems?

@oss-developer The https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/tree/master/tensorflow/core/platform consists of a very minimal set of file systems, some are for historical reasons. Most of the file systems and streaming frameworks used to be provided through tf.contrib (e.g., Ignite File System, Kafka Streaming, etc).

Starting TF 2.0, tf.contrib will be shifted to different SIGs for maintenance. SIG I/O (https://github.com/tensorflow/io) focus on existing and future file systems and streaming frameworks support.

I have moved the issue to tensorflow/io#41, so will close this issue now.

Discussion could be continued in SIG IO (tensorflow/io#41) and SIG IO Google Group (https://groups.google.com/a/tensorflow.org/forum/#!forum/io).

Thanks for the interests and support!
