tfx.components.util.tfxio_utils.make_tfxio

Creates a TFXIO instance that reads file_pattern.

tfx.components.util.tfxio_utils.make_tfxio(
    file_pattern: tfx.components.util.tfxio_utils.OneOrMorePatterns,
    telemetry_descriptors: List[Text],
    payload_format: Union[Text, int],
    data_view_uri: Optional[Text] = None,
    schema: Optional[schema_pb2.Schema] = None,
    read_as_raw_records: bool = False,
    raw_record_column_name: Optional[Text] = None
) -> tfxio.TFXIO

file_pattern the file pattern for the TFXIO to access.
telemetry_descriptors A set of descriptors that identify the component that is instantiating the TFXIO. These will be used to construct the namespace to contain metrics for profiling and are therefore expected to be identifiers of the component itself and not individual instances of source use.
payload_format one of the enums from example_gen_pb2.PayloadFormat (may be in string or int form). If None, default to FORMAT_TF_EXAMPLE.
data_view_uri uri to a DataView artifact. A DataView is needed in order to create a TFXIO for certain payload formats.
schema TFMD schema. Note: although optional, some payload formats need a schema in order for all TFXIO interfaces (e.g. TensorAdapter()) to work. Unless you know what you are doing, always supply a schema.
read_as_raw_records If True, ignore the payload type of examples. Always use RawTfRecord TFXIO.
raw_record_column_name If provided, the arrow RecordBatch produced by the TFXIO will contain a string column of the given name, and the contents of that column will be the raw records. Note that not all TFXIO supports this option, and an error will be raised in that case. Required if read_as_raw_records == True.
