Description

### Feature request

I'm using to_tf_dataset to convert a large dataset to tf.data.Dataset and use Keras fit to train model.
Currently, to_tf_dataset only supports full size shuffle, which can be very slow on large dataset.
tf.data.Dataset support buffer shuffle by default.
shuffle(
buffer_size, seed=None, reshuffle_each_iteration=None, name=None
)

### Motivation

I'm very frustrated to find the loading with shuffling large dataset is very slow. It seems impossible to shuffle before training Keras with big dataset.
