  """Run BERT pretrain model training using low-level API.

  Arguments:
      _sentinel: Used to prevent positional parameters. Internal, do not use.
      strategy: Distribution strategy on which to run low level training loop.
      model_fn: Function that returns a tuple (model, sub_model). Caller of this
        function should add optimizer to the `model` via calling
        `model.compile()` API or manually setting `model.optimizer` attribute.
        Second element of the returned tuple(sub_model) is an optional sub model
        to be used for initial checkpoint -- if provided.
      loss_fn: Function with signature func(labels, logits) and returns a loss
        tensor.
      scale_loss: Whether to divide the raw loss by number of replicas before
        gradients calculation.
      model_dir: Model directory used during training for restoring/saving model
        weights.
      train_input_fn: Function that returns a tf.data.Dataset used for training.
      steps_per_epoch: Number of steps to run per epoch. At the end of each
        epoch, model checkpoint will be saved and evaluation will be conducted
        if evaluation dataset is provided.
      steps_per_loop: Number of steps per graph-mode loop. In order to reduce
        communication in eager context, training logs are printed every
        steps_per_loop.
      epochs: Number of epochs to train.
      eval_input_fn: Function that returns evaluation dataset. If none,
        evaluation is skipped.
      eval_steps: Number of steps to run evaluation. Required if `eval_input_fn`
        is not none.
      metric_fn: A metrics function that returns a Keras Metric object to record
        evaluation result using evaluation dataset or with training dataset
        after every epoch.
      init_checkpoint: Optional checkpoint to load to `sub_model` returned by
        `model_fn`.
      custom_callbacks: A list of Keras Callbacks objects to run during
        training. More specifically, `on_batch_begin()`, `on_batch_end()`,
        `on_epoch_begin()`, `on_epoch_end()` methods are invoked during
        training.  Note that some metrics may be missing from `logs`.
      run_eagerly: Whether to run model training in pure eager execution. This
        should be disable for TPUStrategy.
      sub_model_export_name: If not None, will export `sub_model` returned by
        `model_fn` into checkpoint files. The name of intermediate checkpoint
        file is {sub_model_export_name}_step_{step}.ckpt and the last
        checkpint's name is {sub_model_export_name}.ckpt;
        if None, `sub_model` will not be exported as checkpoint.
      explicit_allreduce: Whether to explicitly perform gradient allreduce,
        instead of relying on implicit allreduce in optimizer.apply_gradients().
        default is False. For now, if training using FP16 mixed precision,
        explicit allreduce will aggregate gradients in FP16 format. For TPU and
        GPU training using FP32, explicit allreduce will aggregate gradients in
        FP32 format.
      pre_allreduce_callbacks: A list of callback functions that takes gradients
        and model variables pairs as input, manipulate them, and returns a new
        gradients and model variables paris. The callback functions will be
        invoked in the list order and before gradients are allreduced.
        With mixed precision training, the pre_allreduce_allbacks will be
        applied on scaled_gradients. Default is no callbacks.
        Only used when explicit_allreduce=True.
      post_allreduce_callbacks: A list of callback functions that takes
        gradients and model variables pairs as input, manipulate them, and
        returns a new gradients and model variables paris. The callback
        functions will be invoked in the list order and right before gradients
        are applied to variables for updates. Default is no callbacks. Only used
        when explicit_allreduce=True.
      train_summary_interval: Step interval for training summaries. If the value
        is a negative number, then training summaries are not enabled.

  Returns:
      Trained model.

  Raises:
      ValueError: (1) When model returned by `model_fn` does not have optimizer
        attribute or when required parameters are set to none. (2) eval args are
        not specified correctly. (3) metric_fn must be a callable if specified.
        (4) sub_model_checkpoint_name is specified, but `sub_model` returned
        by `model_fn` is None.
