    sample_1_of_n_eval_on_train_examples: Similar to
      `sample_1_of_n_eval_examples`, except controls the sampling of training
      data for evaluation.
    model_fn_creator: A function that creates a `model_fn` for `Estimator`.

    use_tpu: Boolean, whether training and evaluation should run on TPU. Only
      used if `use_tpu_estimator` is True.
    num_shards: Number of shards (TPU cores). Only used if `use_tpu_estimator`

      overrides) to `estimator.model_dir`.
    postprocess_on_cpu: When use_tpu and postprocess_on_cpu are true,
      postprocess is scheduled on the host cpu.
    export_to_tpu: When use_tpu and export_to_tpu are true,
      `export_savedmodel()` exports a metagraph for serving on TPU besides the
      one on CPU.
