Description

To load tensorboard log file in python I use the following code:

from tensorboard.backend.event_processing.event_accumulator import EventAccumulator

event_acc = EventAccumulator("my_log")
event_acc.Reload()

The problem is the following: if I want to load just a few scalars but the log file is big (e.g. it contains images), I have to load everything,, even what I don't need.

How can I load the tensorboard log file in lazy mode so that I can speed up the loading process?

Research direction

Start with tensorboard.backend.event_processing.event_accumulator.EventAccumulator and its Reload() entry point. Investigate how loading currently handles a log containing images and scalars, then define and verify behavior for loading only selected scalars without processing unnecessary data.
