  **Step vs. Epoch vs. Iteration**

  Steps and epochs are canonical terms used in TensorFlow and general machine
  learning. They are used to describe running a single process (train/eval):
    - Step refers to running the process through a single or batch of examples.
    - Epoch refers to running the process through an entire dataset.

  E.g. training a dataset with 100 examples. The dataset is
  divided into 20 batches with 5 examples per batch. A single training step
  trains the model on one batch. After 20 training steps, the model will have
  trained on every batch in the dataset, or, in other words, one epoch.

  Meanwhile, iteration is used in this implementation to describe running
  multiple processes (training and eval).
    - A single iteration:
      1. trains the model for a specific number of steps or epochs.
      2. evaluates the model.
      3. (if source and ref files are provided) compute BLEU score.

  This function runs through multiple train+eval+bleu iterations.

  Args:
    estimator: tf.Estimator containing model to train.
    schedule_manager: A schedule.Manager object to guide the run loop.
    train_hooks: List of hooks to pass to the estimator during training.
    benchmark_logger: a BenchmarkLogger object that logs evaluation data
    bleu_source: File containing text to be translated for BLEU calculation.
    bleu_ref: File containing reference translations for BLEU calculation.
    bleu_threshold: minimum BLEU score before training is stopped.
    vocab_file: Path to vocab file that will be used to subtokenize bleu_source.

  Returns:
    Dict of results of the run.  Contains the keys `eval_results`,
    `train_hooks`, `bleu_cased`, and `bleu_uncased`. `train_hooks` is a list the
    instances of hooks used during training.

  Raises:
    ValueError: if both or none of single_iteration_train_steps and
      single_iteration_train_epochs were defined.
    NotFoundError: if the vocab file or bleu files don't exist.

    `train_hooks`, `bleu_cased`, and `bleu_uncased`. `train_hooks` is a list the
    instances of hooks used during training.
