## Description I tried to run Horovod on the latest Mxnet master branch and it failed as below. ### Steps to reproduce Horovod was installed by `HOROVOD_GPU_OPERATIONS=NCCL pip3 install --no-cache-dir horovod ` [A gist exmaple](https://gist.github.com/ZheyuYe/f59b33c20a0b6fdcbf471af3e2d5ac64) revised by [offical mnist example](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/example/distributed_training-horovod/gluon_mnist.py) was executed with `mpirun -np 4 -H localhost:4 -bind-to none -map-by slot python3 mxnet_mnist.py` Please point out the steps I missed if I did't run this example properly. ## Outputs ```bash File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/horovod/mxnet/__init__.py", line 154, in broadcast_parameters broadcast_(tensor, root_rank, name=str(name)) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/horovod/mxnet/mpi_ops.py", line 232, in broadcast_ c_in = tensor.handle AttributeError: 'Parameter' object has no attribute 'handle' Traceback (most recent call last): File "gluon_mnist.py", line 144, in <module> hvd.broadcast_parameters(params, root_rank=0) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/horovod/mxnet/__init__.py", line 154, in broadcast_parameters broadcast_(tensor, root_rank, name=str(name)) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/horovod/mxnet/mpi_ops.py", line 232, in broadcast_ c_in = tensor.handle AttributeError: 'Parameter' object has no attribute 'handle' -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned a non-zero exit code.
