Description

Please replace YOUR_SERVER_ARGS and YOUR_CLIENT_ARGS accordingly. You can also write your own description for reproducing the issue.

I'm using this command to start the server:

bert-serving-start YOUR_SERVER_ARGS

and calling the server via:

bc = BertClient(YOUR_CLIENT_ARGS)
bc.encode()

Then this issue shows up:

I am also looking forward to use Tensorflow 2.0 and would like to use it with BAAS.

Since you are testing it right now, what kind of issue are you facing? You have not yet shared any details about that.

any update on support for TF 2.0?

After upgrading to TF2 , I'm getting error for server

module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'logging'

I am assuming this is TF 2 issue.

Hopefully Bert serving can be compatible with TF-2.0, right now, the workaround for me is to serve the bert model in a different server with TF-1.14

Older issue, but is tensorflow>=2.2 support planned?

Seems to come up here and there #580

Downgrade to tensorflow>=1.10 is a fix but unfortunately not possible on python 3.8
