how to load checkpoint?

[susht3]

i download the model from bert, it only has model.ckpt.data，model.ckpt.meta and model.ckpt.index, i donnot which to load, what is checkpoint file for convert.py?

@susht3 what was your fix?

I encountered a similar issue and didn't find a solution with ALBERT. I tried using the export_checkpoint.py file in ALBERT and sent that into the convert_tf_checkpoint_to_pytorch command and there was no error. However the resulting pytorch.bin output was unusable :\

@dan-hu-spring do you mind opening a new issue with your issue, so that we may take a look?
