EXCLUDED from export because they cannot be be served via TensorFlow Serving APIs

问题

Tensorflow version 1.10

Using: DNNClassifier and tf.estimator.FinalExporter

I'm using the Iris example from TF blog. I defined the following code:

# The CSV features in our training & test data.
COLUMN_NAMES = ['SepalLength',
                'SepalWidth',
                'PetalLength',
                'PetalWidth',
                'Species']
FEATURE_COLUMNS = COLUMN_NAMES[:4]
INPUT_COLUMNS = [
    tf.feature_column.numeric_column(column) for column in COLUMN_NAMES
]

def serving_input_receiver_fn():
  """Build the serving inputs."""
  inputs = {}
  for feat in INPUT_COLUMNS:
    inputs[feat.name] = tf.placeholder(shape=[None], dtype=feat.dtype)
  return tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver(inputs, inputs)

This is how I call my functions:

  train_spec = tf.estimator.TrainSpec(
      train_input, max_steps=hparams.train_steps)
  exporter = tf.estimator.FinalExporter(
      'iris', serving_input_receiver_fn)
  eval_spec = tf.estimator.EvalSpec(
      eval_input,
      steps=hparams.eval_steps,
      exporters=[exporter],
      name='iris-eval')
  run_config = tf.estimator.RunConfig(
      session_config=_get_session_config_from_env_var())
  run_config = run_config.replace(model_dir=hparams.job_dir)
  print('Model dir: %s', run_config.model_dir)
  estimator = model.build_estimator(
      # Construct layers sizes.
      config=run_config,
      hidden_units=[10, 20, 10],
      n_classes=3)
  tf.estimator.train_and_evaluate(estimator, train_spec, eval_spec)

I get the following messages:

When I print serving_input_receiver_fn I get:

In the export folder there is nothing (CSV, JSON, etc.):

I found a solution here.

def _make_input_parser(with_target=True):
  """Returns a parser func according to file_type, task_type and target.
  Need to set record_default for last column to integer instead of float in
  case of classification tasks.
  Args:
    with_target (boolean): Pass label or not.
  Returns:
    It returns a parser.
  """

  def _decode_csv(line):
    """Takes the string input tensor and parses it to feature dict and target.
    All the columns except the first one are treated as feature column. The
    first column is expected to be the target.
    Only returns target for if with_target is True.
    Args:
      line: csv rows in tensor format.
    Returns:
      features: A dictionary of features with key as "column_names" from
        self._column_header.
      target: tensor of target values which is the first column of the file.
        This will only be returned if with_target==True.
    """
    column_header = column_names if with_target else column_names[:4]
    record_defaults = [[0.] for _ in xrange(len(column_names) - 1)]
    # Pass label as integer.
    if with_target:
      record_defaults.append([0])
    columns = tf.decode_csv(line, record_defaults=record_defaults)
    features = dict(zip(column_header, columns))
    target = features.pop(column_names[4]) if with_target else None
    return features, target

  return _decode_csv

  csv_row = tf.placeholder(shape=[None], dtype=tf.string)
  features, _ = _make_input_parser(with_target=False)(csv_row)
  return tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver(features,
                                                  {'csv_row': csv_row})
