S3 filesystem pure virtual method called; terminate called without an active exception

[rivershah]

I am getting a core dump during interpreter teardown, when using the s3 filesystem. Can I please be given guidance how to handle this issue. Please see script to reproduce inside docker:

FROM tensorflow/tensorflow:2.14.0-gpu

The following environment variables are set

"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": xxx,
"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": xxx,
"AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3": xxx,
"AWS_REGION": "us-east-1",
"S3_USE_HTTPS": "1",
"S3_VERIFY_SSL": "1",
"S3_DISABLE_MULTI_PART_DOWNLOAD": "0",
"S3_ENDPOINT": xxx,

import os

import tensorflow as tf
import tensorflow_io as tfio

def illustrate_core_dump():
    print(f"tf version: {tf.__version__}")
    print(f"tfio version: {tfio.__version__}")
    filename = f"{os.environ['CLOUD_MOUNT']}/tmp/test_tfrecord.tfrecord"
    assert filename.startswith("s3://"), "problem appears to be be for s3 filesystem only"
    ds = tf.data.TFRecordDataset(filename, "GZIP")

    for i in ds:
        print(f"i.shape: {i.shape}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    illustrate_core_dump()
    print("reaches here successfully")
    print("something broken during destruction and tf")

    # during interpreter teardown if s3 filesystem used we will get
    # pure virtual method called
    # terminate called without an active exception
    # Aborted (core dumped)

    # gs:// and file:// do not exhibit this issue which don't rely on tfio

tensorflow-io==0.34.0 # works
tensorflow-io==0.35.0 # crashing

Can we please verify why the latest so exhibiting this issue. Thank you

[jpambrun]

I had the same issue and it was driving me insane. I have some unrelated custom c++ ops and wasted a day digging into those. I am using s3 and going back to 0.34.0 fixed it.

[saimidu]

Facing the same issue but for tensorflow==2.13, with tensorflow-io==0.34.0 (and with tensorflow-io==0.35.0). There is no straightforward root-cause, and reverting to tensorflow-io==0.33.0 fixes it.

I've also faced the same error with tensorflow==2.14, with tensorflow-io==0.35.0, which is the only version that supports TF 2.14 as per the compatibility chart on the README.md. But reverting to tensorflow-io==0.33.0 seems to fix it.

[saimidu]

As an update, I followed the build instructions for tensorflow-io (Ubuntu 22.04 and then Python Wheels), and discovered that this particular pure virtual method called error does not occur when I use a locally built wheel for tensorflow-io.

Note: The link in the docker build instructions is broken - https://github.com/tensorflow/io/blob/master/docs/development.md#docker - and the latest image in tfsigio/tfio is about 2 years old.

[rivershah]

@saimi Is there any chance you can please post the steps you took to build? I tried to build but was thwarted by the issues you mentioned.

[saimidu]

@rivershah I pulled the ubuntu:22.04 image from dockerhub

docker run --name tfio_builder -itd ubuntu:22.04 bash
docker exec -it tfio_builder bash

and installed all the packages and bazel as instructed in https://github.com/tensorflow/io/blob/master/docs/development.md#ubuntu-2204 (without the sudo)

apt-get -y -qq update
apt-get -y -qq install gcc g++ git unzip curl python3-pip python-is-python3 libntirpc-dev
curl -sSOL https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/download/v1.11.0/bazelisk-linux-amd64
mv bazelisk-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/bazel
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bazel

python3 --version  # made sure I had python version>=3.9
python3 -m pip install -U pip
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/io
cd io/
git checkout v0.35.0
pip install "tensorflow==2.14.1"
./configure.sh
export TF_PYTHON_VERSION=3.10
bazel build -s --verbose_failures --copt="-Wno-error=array-parameter=" --copt="-I/usr/include/tirpc" //tensorflow_io/... //tensorflow_io_gcs_filesystem/...

I then followed the instructions at https://github.com/tensorflow/io/blob/master/docs/development.md#python-wheels:

python3 setup.py bdist_wheel --data bazel-bin

Then, within the same container, I was able to validate tf-io's S3 filesystem functionality by trying to checkpoint a model to S3.

I'll need to do some additional work to reproduce the failure I got when copying the generated tf-io wheel out into a different container, since I've terminated all of that setup now.

[rivershah]

Bumping this issue. Needs looking at to ensure build process handling correctly

[rivershah]

This problem persists in tensorflow-io==0.37.0 Please fix, this is rendering s3 based io unusable without resorting to old versions
