Hi Hagay and Sandeep, Could you help us understand why this specific bug is more important than all the other known bugs, that this becomes a release blocker?
Some facts to consider: - The bug exists since SymbolBlock was introduced a year ago and has survived at least three releases, so this is not a regression. - Timeline-wise, this bug was reported on 7/21, but was not reported as release-blocker in the release discussion thread until 8/31 [1]. Neither its reporting as release-blocker nor its fix made it for the 8/3 code freeze. - The PR is still not ready yet as it doesn't have approval. Hagay, it would be great if you could provide some additional reasoning besides "X mentions the issue" or "fix was done by X". Thanks. -sz [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/d1ed611f98c20d5d85c294b0c07c8bdebca13a209cf66a3872c9123e@%3Cdev.mxnet.apache.org%3E On Tue, Sep 4, 2018 at 12:39 PM Hagay Lupesko <lupe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sandeep mentions the issue of an error when user tries to load model params > trained/saved as FP16. > https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/11849 > The fix was done by Sandeep: > https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12412 and is ready to be > cherry picked into the release branch. > > This seems like a release blocker to me: > - Basic functionality broken: loading a model (albeit one that that was > saved as non FP32) > - Reported by 3 users (wgchang@, nicklhy@ and ThomasDelteil@) > > -1 (non binding) > > Hagay > > > > On Tue, Sep 4, 2018 at 12:01 PM sandeep krishnamurthy < > sandeep.krishn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > "- 0" > > > > I believe the bug #11849 > > <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/11849>, unable to > import > > non-fp32 models into Gluon, fixed in this PR #12412 > > <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12412> is important for > > the > > users.
