The distributed mode (evaluation in parallel) uses a world size greater than 1, by definition. However,
WebDataset
defaultnodesplitter
supposes that the dataset will be sharded throughout multiple nodes if using the distributed mode, which is not the case here (each node gets a different dataset).WebDataset
defaultnodesplitter
uses a sanity check for this, and the program crashes. This change substitutes the defaultnodesplitter
function with an identity function (the same functionality as before) but without this assertion.
