tensorflow: Cannot Read From Google Storage with tf.io.gfile.GFile under intel-tensorflow==1.14.0

Support for Google Storage (gs protocol) seems to be missing from intel-tensorflow==1.14.0, which is unexpected. I’m aware that this is no core tensorflow issue but I’ve seen that some engineers from Intel are active in this repository.

System information

• Have I written custom code (as opposed to using a stock example script provided in TensorFlow): No
• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): docker image intelaipg/intel-optimized-tensorflow:1.14.0-mkl-py3 (Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS)
• Mobile device (e.g. iPhone 8, Pixel 2, Samsung Galaxy) if the issue happens on mobile device:
• TensorFlow installed from (source or binary): No
• TensorFlow version (use command below): 1.14.0
• Python version: 3.6.8
• Bazel version (if compiling from source): n/a
• GCC/Compiler version (if compiling from source): n/a
• CUDA/cuDNN version: n/a
• GPU model and memory: n/a

You can collect some of this information using our environment capture script You can also obtain the TensorFlow version with:

1. TF 1.0: python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.GIT_VERSION, tf.VERSION)"
2. TF 2.0: python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.version.GIT_VERSION, tf.version.VERSION)"

Output: v1.14.0-1-hardened-0-g340d16ee58 1.14.0

Describe the current behavior

Google storage doesn’t seem to be supported for some reason:

Describe the expected behavior

Verified to work with 1.13.2:
