title: Tensorflow Dataset API with HDFS
body: <p>We have stored a list of *.tfrecord files in a HDFS directory. I'd like to use the new Dataset API  but the only example given is to use the old filequeue and string_input_producer (<a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/deploy/hadoop" rel="noreferrer">https://www.tensorflow.org/deploy/hadoop</a>). These methods make it difficult to generate epochs amongst other things. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to use HDFS with the Dataset API?</p>
