tf.compat.v1.train.string_input_producer

Output strings (e.g. filenames) to a queue for an input pipeline. (deprecated)

tf.compat.v1.train.string_input_producer(
    string_tensor, num_epochs=None, shuffle=True, seed=None, capacity=32,
    shared_name=None, name=None, cancel_op=None
)

string_tensor A 1-D string tensor with the strings to produce.
num_epochs An integer (optional). If specified, string_input_producer produces each string from string_tensor num_epochs times before generating an OutOfRange error. If not specified, string_input_producer can cycle through the strings in string_tensor an unlimited number of times.
shuffle Boolean. If true, the strings are randomly shuffled within each epoch.
seed An integer (optional). Seed used if shuffle == True.
capacity An integer. Sets the queue capacity.
shared_name (optional). If set, this queue will be shared under the given name across multiple sessions. All sessions open to the device which has this queue will be able to access it via the shared_name. Using this in a distributed setting means each name will only be seen by one of the sessions which has access to this operation.
name A name for the operations (optional).
cancel_op Cancel op for the queue (optional).

A queue with the output strings. A QueueRunner for the Queue is added to the current Graph's QUEUE_RUNNER collection.

ValueError If the string_tensor is a null Python list. At runtime, will fail with an assertion if string_tensor becomes a null tensor.

Eager Compatibility

Input pipelines based on Queues are not supported when eager execution is enabled. Please use the tf.data API to ingest data under eager execution.
