Research direction

Start by reading the related pull request, https://github.com/combust/mleap/pull/760, and trace where MLeap Sparse Tensors are converted before TensorFlow is called. Done means Sparse Tensors are passed to TensorFlow as Sparse Tensors rather than being converted to Dense Tensors, avoiding the reported memory issue.

Description

Related to https://github.com/combust/mleap/pull/760.
We currently convert Sparse Tensor to Dense Tensor before calling tensorflow.
This behavior will cause memory issue and is ineffective.
Since Tensorflow also support Sparse Tensor, we should convert MLeap Sparse Tensor to TF Spare Tensor.
