First release of tensorflow-networking

[byronyi]

The TF main repo has r1.14 branch cut yesterday. TF-networking will make a Python package release targeting TF 1.14.

This release will require the use of the same compiler compiling TF core to avoid ABI compatibility issue. See tensorflow/tensorflow#27067 for details. We expect to relex this requirement once we have the TF networking C API implemented in TF core.

The 0.1.0 release of tensorflow-networking will include the following feature:

Plugin: GDR, or "grpc+gdr" server protocol
OS: Ubuntu GNU/Linux 16.04 Xenial
TensorFlow: 1.14.0

If you are requesting for other features/plugins support, open an issue. We will have a release candidate before the actual release.

@byronyi Thanks for porting it over here. Does this work for TF 2?

In addition, to use verbs, should I compile the files, then set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the .so file. The following automatically will work with stock TF releases, say 1.15 or 2.2?

server = tf.train.Server(cluster, job_name="local", task_index=0, protocol='grpc+verbs')
