h5py==3.0.0 causes issues with keras model loads in tensorflow 2.1.0 #44467
Description
h5py released version 3.0.0 today and it causes this code to fail:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/keras/saving/hdf5_format.py#L182
with error:
File "/databricks/python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow_core/python/keras/saving/save.py", line 146, in load_model
return hdf5_format.load_model_from_hdf5(filepath, custom_objects, compile)
File "/databricks/python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow_core/python/keras/saving/hdf5_format.py", line 166, in load_model_from_hdf5
model_config = json.loads(model_config.decode('utf-8'))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
It looks like in version 2.1.0 the h5py version is not pinned (it is pinned in master), which is causing the issue.
