How to modify in optimizer_config

[svamsip]

Hi Team Great work and thanks for your contribution!

I'm working on training the mask_rcnn_focalnet_small_patch4_mstrain_480-800_adamw_3x_coco_lrf.py with custom dataset in coco format.

• The DistOptimizerHook has been depreciated from mmcv.runner.hooks.optimizer and has been recommended to use OptimizerHook replacing the same.

  # do not use mmdet version fp16
  fp16 = None
  optimizer_config = dict(
    type="DistOptimizerHook",
    update_interval=1,
    grad_clip=None,
    coalesce=True, 
    bucket_size_mb=-1,
    use_fp16=True,
  )

• I've replaced with below code which goes with default OptimizerHook

  # do not use mmdet version fp16
  fp16 = None
  optimizer_config = dict(
    grad_clip=None,
  )

• Installed mmcv using source code:

  git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmcv.git -b 1.x /openmmlab/mmcv \
  && cd /openmmlab/mmcv \
  && MMCV_WITH_OPS=1 pip install --no-cache-dir -e . -v

  Would like to know recommended configuration with fp16 and optimizer_config in place DistOptimizerHook for distributed training.
