Adds a QueueRunner to a collection in the graph. (deprecated)

tf.train.queue_runner.add_queue_runner(
    qr, collection=tf.GraphKeys.QUEUE_RUNNERS
)

When building a complex model that uses many queues it is often difficult to gather all the queue runners that need to be run. This convenience function allows you to add a queue runner to a well known collection in the graph.

The companion method start_queue_runners() can be used to start threads for all the collected queue runners.

qr A QueueRunner.
collection A GraphKey specifying the graph collection to add the queue runner to. Defaults to GraphKeys.QUEUE_RUNNERS.
