[`tf.compat.v1.raw_ops.FlatMapDataset`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/raw_ops/FlatMapDataset)

<br />

    tf.raw_ops.FlatMapDataset(
        input_dataset,
        other_arguments,
        f,
        output_types,
        output_shapes,
        metadata='',
        name=None
    )

Unlike MapDataset, the `f` in FlatMapDataset is expected to return a
Dataset variant, and FlatMapDataset will flatten successive results
into a single Dataset.

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `input_dataset` | A `Tensor` of type `variant`. |
| `other_arguments` | A list of `Tensor` objects. |
| `f` | A function decorated with @Defun. A function mapping elements of `input_dataset`, concatenated with `other_arguments`, to a Dataset variant that contains elements matching `output_types` and `output_shapes`. |
| `output_types` | A list of `tf.DTypes` that has length `>= 1`. |
| `output_shapes` | A list of shapes (each a [`tf.TensorShape`](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r2.13/api_docs/python/tf/TensorShape) or list of `ints`) that has length `>= 1`. |
| `metadata` | An optional `string`. Defaults to `""`. |
| `name` | A name for the operation (optional). |
