class BlockSampler(object):

    The main method for BlockSampler is :meth:`sample_blocks`,
    which generates a list of blocks for a multi-layer GNN given a set of seed nodes to
    have their outputs computed.

    The default implementation of :meth:`sample_blocks` is
    to repeat :attr:`num_layers` times the following procedure from the last layer to the first
    layer:

    * Obtain a frontier.  The frontier is defined as a graph with the same nodes as the
      original graph but only the edges involved in message passing on the current layer.
      Customizable via :meth:`sample_frontier`.

    * Optionally, if the task is link prediction or edge classfication, remove edges
      connecting training node pairs.  If the graph is undirected, also remove the
      reverse edges.  This is controlled by the argument :attr:`exclude_eids` in
      :meth:`sample_blocks` method.

    * Convert the frontier into a block.

    * Optionally assign the IDs of the edges in the original graph selected in the first step
      to the block, controlled by the argument ``return_eids`` in
      :meth:`sample_blocks` method.

    * Prepend the block to the block list to be returned.

    All subclasses should override :meth:`sample_frontier`
    method while specifying the number of layers to sample in :attr:`num_layers` argument.

    Parameters
    ----------
    num_layers : int
        The number of layers to sample.
    return_eids : bool, default False
        Whether to return the edge IDs involved in message passing in the block.
        If True, the edge IDs will be stored as an edge feature named ``dgl.EID``.

    ----------
    g : DGLGraph
        The graph from which the edges are iterated in minibatches and the subgraphs

    eids : Tensor or dict[etype, Tensor]
        The edge set in graph :attr:`g` to compute outputs.
    block_sampler : dgl.dataloading.BlockSampler
        The neighborhood sampler.
    g_sampling : DGLGraph, optional
        The graph where neighborhood sampling and message passing is performed.

        Note that this is not necessarily the same as :attr:`g`.

        If None, assume to be the same as :attr:`g`.
    exclude : str, optional
        Whether and how to exclude dependencies related to the sampled edges in the
        minibatch.  Possible values are

        * None, which excludes nothing.

        * ``'reverse_id'``, which excludes the reverse edges of the sampled edges.  The said
          reverse edges have the same edge type as the sampled edges.  Only works
          on edge types whose source node type is the same as its destination node type.

        * ``'reverse_types'``, which excludes the reverse edges of the sampled edges.  The
          said reverse edges have different edge types from the sampled edges.

        If ``g_sampling`` is given, ``exclude`` is ignored and will be always ``None``.
    reverse_eids : Tensor or dict[etype, Tensor], optional
        The mapping from original edge ID to its reverse edge ID.

        Required and only used when ``exclude`` is set to ``reverse_id``.

        For heterogeneous graph this will be a dict of edge type and edge IDs.  Note that
        only the edge types whose source node type is the same as destination node type
        are needed.
    reverse_etypes : dict[etype, etype], optional
        The mapping from the edge type to its reverse edge type.

        Required and only used when ``exclude`` is set to ``reverse_types``.
    negative_sampler : callable, optional
        The negative sampler.  Can be omitted if no negative sampling is needed.

        The negative sampler must be a callable that takes in the following arguments:

        * The original (heterogeneous) graph.

        * The ID array of sampled edges in the minibatch, or the dictionary of edge
          types and ID array of sampled edges in the minibatch if the graph is
          heterogeneous.

        It should return

        * A pair of source and destination node ID arrays as negative samples,
          or a dictionary of edge types and such pairs if the graph is heterogenenous.

        A set of builtin negative samplers are provided in
        :ref:`the negative sampling module <api-dataloading-negative-sampling>`.

    Examples
    --------
    The following example shows how to train a 3-layer GNN for edge classification on a
    set of edges ``train_eid`` on a homogeneous undirected graph.  Each node takes
    messages from all neighbors.

    Say that you have an array of source node IDs ``src`` and another array of destination
    node IDs ``dst``.  One can make it bidirectional by adding another set of edges
    that connects from ``dst`` to ``src``:

    >>> g = dgl.graph((torch.cat([src, dst]), torch.cat([dst, src])))

    One can then know that the ID difference of an edge and its reverse edge is ``|E|``,
    where ``|E|`` is the length of your source/destination array.  The reverse edge
    mapping can be obtained by

    >>> E = len(src)
    >>> reverse_eids = torch.cat([torch.arange(E, 2 * E), torch.arange(0, E)])

    Note that the sampled edges as well as their reverse edges are removed from
    computation dependencies of the incident nodes.  This is a common trick to avoid
    information leakage.

    >>> sampler = dgl.dataloading.MultiLayerNeighborSampler([15, 10, 5])
    >>> collator = dgl.dataloading.EdgeCollator(
    ...     g, train_eid, sampler, exclude='reverse_id',
    ...     reverse_eids=reverse_eids)
    >>> dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    ...     collator.dataset, collate_fn=collator.collate,
    ...     batch_size=1024, shuffle=True, drop_last=False, num_workers=4)
    >>> for input_nodes, pair_graph, blocks in dataloader:
    ...     train_on(input_nodes, pair_graph, blocks)

    To train a 3-layer GNN for link prediction on a set of edges ``train_eid`` on a
    homogeneous graph where each node takes messages from all neighbors (assume the
    backend is PyTorch), with 5 uniformly chosen negative samples per edge:

    >>> sampler = dgl.dataloading.MultiLayerNeighborSampler([15, 10, 5])
    >>> neg_sampler = dgl.dataloading.negative_sampler.Uniform(5)
    >>> collator = dgl.dataloading.EdgeCollator(
    ...     g, train_eid, sampler, exclude='reverse_id',
    ...     reverse_eids=reverse_eids, negative_sampler=neg_sampler,
    >>> dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    ...     collator.dataset, collate_fn=collator.collate,
    ...     batch_size=1024, shuffle=True, drop_last=False, num_workers=4)
    >>> for input_nodes, pos_pair_graph, neg_pair_graph, blocks in dataloader:
    ...     train_on(input_nodse, pair_graph, neg_pair_graph, blocks)

    For heterogeneous graphs, the reverse of an edge may have a different edge type
    from the original edge.  For instance, consider that you have an array of
    user-item clicks, representated by a user array ``user`` and an item array ``item``.
    You may want to build a heterogeneous graph with a user-click-item relation and an
    item-clicked-by-user relation.

    >>> g = dgl.heterograph({
    ...     ('user', 'click', 'item'): (user, item),
    ...     ('item', 'clicked-by', 'user'): (item, user)})

    To train a 3-layer GNN for edge classification on a set of edges ``train_eid`` with
    type ``click``, you can write
