Why are these changes needed?
Depends on ray-project#45332. Adds a nested TorchTensorType so that tensors stored inside a Python object can be passed via NCCL using the following syntax:
with_contains_type_hint
indicates that the value returned by that DAG node contains one or more torch.Tenors that should be transferred via NCCL. We implement this using a shared memory channel to pass CPU data, and the existing NCCL channel. If the TorchTensorType doesn't have a shape and dtype specified, we use an additional shared memory channel to pass metadata for the serialized tensors.Related issue number
