Class InfiniteSampler

yolox/data/samplers.py:40–95

In training, we only care about the "infinite stream" of training data. So this sampler produces an infinite stream of indices and all workers cooperate to correctly shuffle the indices and sample different indices. The samplers in each worker effectively produces `indices[worker_id
