## @package data_workers
# Module caffe2.python.data_workers






'''
This module provides a python-land multithreaded data input mechanism
for Caffe2 nets.

Basic usage is as follows:
   coordinator = data_workers.init_data_input_workers(
      net,
      ["data", "label"],
      my_fetch_fun,
      batch_size=32,
      input_source_name="train",
      dont_rebatch=False
   )
   ...
   coordinator.start()

First argument is the Caffe2 net (or model helper), and second argument
is list of input blobs that are to be fed.

Argument 'input_source_name' is used to distinguish different sources of data,
such as train or test data. This is to ensure the data does not get mixed up,
although two nets would share blobs.

To do the actual data loading, one defines a "fetcher function"
that has call signature
   my_fetch_fun(worker_id, batch_size)

Optionally, one can define a "init function" that is called once before
threads start, and has call signature:
   my_init_fun(data_coordinator, global_coordinator)

If dont_rebatch is set to True, the data input is not batched into equal sized
chunks but data directly provided by fetchers is used.

'batch_columns' can be used to specify which dimension is the batch dimension,
for each of the inputs. Default is 0 for all iputs.

'timeout' is the timeout in seconds after which if no data is available, the
net will fail (default 600s = 10 mins).

This function returns a list of numpy arrays corresponding to the different
input blobs. In the example above, it would return two arrays, one for the
data blob and another for the labels. These arrays can have arbitrary number
of elements (i.e they do not need to match the batch size). The batch size
is provided for the function as a hint only.

For example, fetcher function could download images from a remote service or
load random images from a directory on a file system.

For a dummy example, see the data_workers_test unit test.

Note that for data_parallel_models, init_data_input_workers will be called
for each GPU. Note that the 'coordinator' returned by the function is same
each time.
