FailedPreconditionError: Table already initialized

I am reading data from tfrecords with dataset api. I am converting string data to dummy data with following code.

SFR1 = tf.feature_column.indicator_column(
    tf.feature_column.categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list("SFR1 ",
                                                             vocabulary_list=("1", "2")))

But when i run my code, tensorflow is throwing following error.

tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.FailedPreconditionError: Table already initialized. [[Node: Generator/input_layer/SFR1 _indicator/SFR1 _lookup/hash_table/table_init = InitializeTableV2[Tkey=DT_STRING, Tval=DT_INT64](Generator/input_layer/SFR1 _indicator/SFR1 _lookup/hash_table, Generator/input_layer/SFR1 _indicator/SFR1 _lookup/Const, Generator/input_layer/SFR1 _indicator/SFR1 _lookup/ToInt64)]] [[Node: Generator2/IteratorGetNext = IteratorGetNextoutput_shapes=[[?,10000,160]], output_types=[DT_FLOAT], _device="/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0"]]

I have tried many combinations to determine the source of problem. I understood that this problem occurs when model includes both tf.feature_column.categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list and dataset api. If i choose TFRecordReader instead of dataset, code is running.

When i search stackoverflow, I noticed that there is a similar issue. I am adding issue link below. As both problem are same, I didn't copy all my code. Below link includes enough data to explain my problem

Tensorflow feature columns in Dataset map Table already initialized issue

Thanks.

This is issue with earlier version of TensorFlow, updating to TF2.0 should resolve this.

pip install --upgrade tensorflow

I came across the same issue. Then modified my code following the warning from Tensorflow and it works:

Creating lookup tables inside a function passed to Dataset.map() is not supported. Create each table outside the function, and capture it inside the function to use it.

Hope it would help.
