Tensorflow : Graph is finalized and cannot be modified

I am trying to save variables through checkpoints to introduce fault tolerance to my program. I am trying to achieve this by using the MonitoredTrainingSession function. The following is my configuration:-

import tensorflow as tf

global_step = tf.Variable(10, trainable=False, name='global_step')
x = tf.constant(2)

with tf.device("/job:local/task:0"):
    y1 = tf.Variable(x + 300)

with tf.device("/job:local/task:1"):
    y2 = tf.Variable(x**2)

with tf.device("/job:local/task:2"):
    y3 = tf.Variable(5*x)

with tf.device("/job:local/task:3"):
    y0 = tf.Variable(x - 66)
    y = y0 + y1 + y2 + y3

model = tf.global_variables_initializer()
saver = tf.train.Saver(sharded=True)

chief = tf.train.ChiefSessionCreator(scaffold=None, master='grpc://localhost:2222', config=None, checkpoint_dir='/home/tensorflow/codes/checkpoints')
summary_hook = tf.train.SummarySaverHook(save_steps=None, save_secs=10, output_dir='/home/tensorflow/codes/savepoints', summary_writer=None, scaffold=None, summary_op=tf.summary.tensor_summary(name="y", tensor=y))
saver_hook = tf.train.CheckpointSaverHook(checkpoint_dir='/home/tensorflow/codes/checkpoints', save_secs=None, save_steps=True, saver=saver, checkpoint_basename='model.ckpt', scaffold=None)

# with tf.train.MonitoredSession(session_creator=ChiefSessionCreator,hooks=[saver_hook, summary_hook]) as sess:

with tf.train.MonitoredTrainingSession(master='grpc://localhost:2222', is_chief=True, checkpoint_dir='/home/tensorflow/codes/checkpoints',
    scaffold=None, hooks=[saver_hook,summary_hook], chief_only_hooks=None, save_checkpoint_secs=None, save_summaries_steps=True, config=None) as sess:

    while not sess.should_stop():
        sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())

    while not sess.should_stop():
        result = sess.run(y)
        print(result)

I get the following RuntimeError which I am unable to resolve:-

Traceback (most recent call last):

The root cause for your error seems to be that MonitoredTrainingSession has finalized (frozen) the graph and your tf.global_variable_initializer() is no longer able to modify it.

Having said that, there are multiple things that require attention:

1) Why do you try to repeatedly initialize all variables here?

while not sess.should_stop():
    sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())

2) It seems some of your code is already included in MonitoredTrainingSession, e.g. ChiefSessionCreator. Can you please take another look at the code (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/training/monitored_session.py#L243) or search for its sample usage and see how MonitoredTrainingSession is supposed to be used?

This may not be recommended for your use case, but it is possible to unfinalize a Graph:

sess.graph._unsafe_unfinalize()
