A New API for creating .rec files

Hi,

During some recent MXNet user surveys, one of the user requests was to have
a im2rec API that will have similar functionality as the im2rec tool(
https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/faq/recordio.html?highlight=im2rec). The
advantage with the API would be that the user can access this functionality
from the PyPi package itself, instead of cloning the repo.

I was thinking of converting the tool into an API call under the mx.io
package. I will send the API design shortly. I wanted to know what the
community thinks of this change.


Thanks
Anirudh Acharya

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay, but here is the design spec for the API -

Look forward to feedback from the community.


Regards
Anirudh
