during the python Dataset object creation instead doing it during
        Iterator creation time.
    *   Add `batch_dims` argument to `tf.gather`.
    *   The behavior of `tf.gather` is now correct when `axis=None` and
        `batch_dims<0`.
    *   Update docstring for gather to properly describe the non-empty
        `batch_dims` case.
    *   Removing of dtype in the constructor of initializers and partition_info
