See [Version
compatibility](https://tensorflow.org/guide/version_compat#backward_forward).
Forward-compatibility refers to scenarios where the producer of a TensorFlow
model (a GraphDef or SavedModel) is compiled against a version of the
TensorFlow library newer than what the consumer was compiled against. The
"producer" is typically a Python program that constructs and trains a model
while the "consumer" is typically another program that loads and serves the
model.
TensorFlow has been supporting a 3 week forward-compatibility window for
programs compiled from source at HEAD.
For example, consider the case where a new operation `MyNewAwesomeAdd` is
created with the intent of replacing the implementation of an existing Python
wrapper - `tf.add`. The Python wrapper implementation should change from
something like:
```python
def add(inputs, name=None):
return gen_math_ops.add(inputs, name)
```
to:
```python
from tensorflow.python.compat import compat
def add(inputs, name=None):
if compat.forward_compatible(year, month, day):
# Can use the awesome new implementation.
return gen_math_ops.my_new_awesome_add(inputs, name)
# To maintain forward compatibility, use the old implementation.
return gen_math_ops.add(inputs, name)
```
Where `year`, `month`, and `day` specify the date beyond which binaries
that consume a model are expected to have been updated to include the
new operations. This date is typically at least 3 weeks beyond the date
the code that adds the new operation is committed.
Args:
year: A year (e.g., 2018). Must be an `int`.
month: A month (1 <= month <= 12) in year. Must be an `int`.
day: A day (1 <= day <= 31, or 30, or 29, or 28) in month. Must be an
`int`.
Returns:
True if the caller can expect that serialized TensorFlow graphs produced
can be consumed by programs that are compiled with the TensorFlow library
source code after (year, month, day).

"""Context manager for testing forward compatibility of generated graphs.
See [Version
compatibility](https://tensorflow.org/guide/version_compat#backward_forward).
To ensure forward compatibility of generated graphs (see `forward_compatible`)
with older binaries, new features can be gated with:
```python
if compat.forward_compatible(year=2018, month=08, date=01):
generate_graph_with_new_features()
else:
generate_graph_so_older_binaries_can_consume_it()
```
However, when adding new features, one may want to unittest it before
the forward compatibility window expires. This context manager enables
such tests. For example:
```python
from tensorflow.python.compat import compat
def testMyNewFeature(self):
with compat.forward_compatibility_horizon(2018, 08, 02):
# Test that generate_graph_with_new_features() has an effect
```

year: A year (e.g., 2018). Must be an `int`.
month: A month (1 <= month <= 12) in year. Must be an `int`.
day: A day (1 <= day <= 31, or 30, or 29, or 28) in month. Must be an
`int`.
