<p>When job started, every trainer needs to get it&#8217;s own part of data. In some distributed systems a storage service will be provided, so the date under that path can be accessed by all the trainer nodes. Without the storage service, you must copy the training data to each trainer node.</p>
<p>Different training jobs may have different data format and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reader()</span></code> function, developers may need to write different data prepare scripts and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reader()</span></code> functions for their job.</p>
