How to use tf.data.Dataset.interleave() in TF 2 with a custom function?

I'm using TF 2.2 and I'm trying to use tf.data to create a pipeline.

The following works fine:

def load_image(filePath, label):

    print('Loading File: {}' + filePath)
    raw_bytes = tf.io.read_file(filePath)
    image = tf.io.decode_image(raw_bytes, expand_animations = False)

    return image, label

# TrainDS Pipeline
trainDS = getDataset()
trainDS = trainDS.shuffle(size['train'])
trainDS = trainDS.map(load_image, num_parallel_calls=AUTOTUNE)

for d in trainDS:
    print('Image: {} - Label: {}'.format(d[0], d[1]))

I would like to use the load_image() with the Dataset.interleave(). Then I tried:

# TrainDS Pipeline
trainDS = getDataset()
trainDS = trainDS.shuffle(size['train'])
trainDS = trainDS.interleave(lambda x, y: load_image_with_label(x, y), cycle_length=4)

for d in trainDS:
    print('Image: {} - Label: {}'.format(d[0], d[1]))

But I'm getting the following error:

Exception has occurred: TypeError
`map_func` must return a `Dataset` object. Got <class 'tuple'>
  File "/data/dev/train_daninhas.py", line 44, in <module>
    trainDS = trainDS.interleave(lambda x, y: load_image_with_label(x, y), cycle_length=4)

How can I adapt my code to have the Dataset.interleave() working with the load_image() to read the images in parallel ?

As the error suggests, you need to modify the load_image so that it return a Dataset object, I have shown an example with two images on how to go about doing it in tensorflow 2.2.0:

import tensorflow as tf
filenames = ["./img1.jpg", "./img2.jpg"]
labels = ["A", "B"]

def load_image(filePath, label):
    print('Loading File: {}' + filePath)
    raw_bytes = tf.io.read_file(filePath)
    image = tf.io.decode_image(raw_bytes, expand_animations = False)
    return tf.data.Dataset.from_tensors((image, label))

dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((filenames, labels))
dataset = dataset.interleave(lambda x, y: load_image(x, y), cycle_length=4)

for i in dataset.as_numpy_iterator():
    image = i[0]
    label = i[1]
    print(image.shape)
    print(label.decode())

# (275, 183, 3)
# A
# (275, 183, 3)
# B

Hope this helps!
