Title: Typing of Dataset.__getitem__ could be improved.
State: closed
Labels: description: Something isn't working
name: bug

## Describe the bug

The newly added typing for Dataset.__getitem__ is Union[Dict, List]. This makes tools like mypy a bit awkward to use as we need to check the type manually. We could use type overloading to make this easier. [Documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.overload)

## Steps to reproduce the bug
Let's have a file `test.py`

```python
from typing import List, Dict, Any

from datasets import Dataset

ds = Dataset.from_dict({
    'a': [1,2,3],
    'b': ["1", "2", "3"]
})

one_colum: List[str] = ds['a']
some_index: Dict[Any, Any] = ds[1]
```

## Expected results

Running `mypy test.py` should not give any error.


## Actual results

```
test.py:10: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "Union[Dict[Any, Any], List[Any]]", variable has type "List[str]")
test.py:11: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "Union[Dict[Any, Any], List[Any]]", variable has type "Dict[Any, Any]")
Found 2 errors in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
```

Title: Integrate Polars library
State: closed
Labels: description: New feature or request
name: enhancement

Check potential integration of the Polars library: https://github.com/pola-rs/polars
- Benchmark: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/

CC: @thomwolf @lewtun 


Comments:
If possible, a neat API could be something like `Dataset.to_polars()`, as well as `Dataset.set_format("polars")`

Note they use a "custom" implementation of Arrow: [Arrow2](https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/arrow2).

Polars has grown rapidly in popularity over the last year - could you consider integrating the Polars functionality again?

I don't think the "custom" implementation should be a barrier, it still conforms to the Arrow specification 

Is there some direction regarding this from the HF team @lewtun ? Can conversion from polars to HF dataset be implemented with limited/zero copy? So, something like ``Dataset.from_polars()`` and ``Dataset.to_polars()`` like you mentioned. Happy to contribute if I can get some pointers on how this may be implemented.

Hi, is there any updates? Thanks!

> Hi, is there any updates? Thanks!

The feature has been there for a bit 😊 You can call `dataset.to_polars()` (on a `Dataset`, not a `DatasetDict`). The issue can be closed, I guess! @lhoestq 

Looks great and thanks!

Thank you.
Title: Fix error message and add extension fallback
State: closed

Fix the error message raised if `infered_module_name` is `None` in `CommunityDatasetModuleFactoryWithoutScript.get_module` and make `infer_module_for_data_files` more robust. 

In the linked issue, `infer_module_for_data_files` returns `None` because `json` is the second most common extension due to the suffix ordering. Now,  we go from the most common to the least common extension and try to map it or return `None`.

## Describe the bug
I add a new question answering dataset to huggingface datasets manually. Here is the link: [luozhouyang/question-answering-datasets](https://huggingface.co/datasets/luozhouyang/question-answering-datasets)

But when I load the dataset, an error raised: 

```bash
AttributeError: 'CommunityDatasetModuleFactoryWithoutScript' object has no attribute 'path'
```

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("luozhouyang/question-answering-datasets", data_files=["dureader_robust.train.json"])
```

## Expected results
Load dataset successfully without any error.

Hi,

the fix was merged and will be available in the next release of `datasets`.
In the meantime, you can use it by installing `datasets` directly from master as follows:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/datasets.git

Title: Map function: Type error on iter #999
State: closed
Labels: description: Something isn't working
name: bug

## Describe the bug
Using the map function, it throws a type error on iter #999

Here is the code I am calling:
```
dataset = datasets.load_dataset('squad')
dataset['validation'].map(text_numbers_to_int, input_columns=['context'], fn_kwargs={'column': 'context'})
``` 
text_numbers_to_int returns the input text with numbers replaced in the format {'context': text}

It happens at 
`
File "C:\Users\lonek\anaconda3\envs\ai\Lib\site-packages\datasets\arrow_writer.py", line 289, in <listcomp>
    [row[0][col] for row in self.current_examples], type=col_type, try_type=col_try_type, col=col
`

The issue is that the list comprehension expects self.current_examples to be type tuple(dict, str), but for some reason 26 out of 1000 of the sefl.current_examples are type tuple(str, str)

Here is an example of what self.current_examples should be
({'context': 'Super Bowl 50 was an...merals 50.'}, '')

Here is an example of what self.current_examples are when it throws the error:
('The Panthers used th... Marriott.', '')


Comments:
Hi, thanks for reporting.

It would be really helpful if you could provide the actual code of the `text_numbers_to_int` function so we can reproduce the error.

```
def text_numbers_to_int(text, column=""):
    """
    Convert text numbers to int.

    :param text: text numbers
    :return: int
    """
    try:
        numbers = find_numbers(text)
        if not numbers:
            return text
        result = ""
        i, j = 0, 0
        while i < len(text):
            if j < len(numbers) and i == numbers[j][1]:
                n = int(numbers[j][0]) if numbers[j][0] % 1 == 0 else float(numbers[j][0])
                result += str(n)
                i = numbers[j][2] #end
                j += 1
            else:
                result += text[i]
                i += 1
        if column:
            return{column: result}
        else:
            return {column: result}
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        return {column: result}
```

Maybe this is because of the `return text` line ? I think it should return a dictionary rather than a string

Yes that was it, good catch! Thanks

Title: "Shape of query is incorrect, it has to be either a 1D array or 2D (1, N)"
State: closed
Labels: description: Something isn't working
name: bug

## Describe the bug
Passing a correctly shaped Numpy-Array to get_nearest_examples leads to the Exception

"Shape of query is incorrect, it has to be either a 1D array or 2D (1, N)"

Probably the reason for this is a wrongly converted assertion.

1.15.1:

`assert len(query.shape) == 1 or (len(query.shape) == 2 and query.shape[0] == 1)`

1.16.1:

```
 if len(query.shape) != 1 or (len(query.shape) == 2 and query.shape[0] != 1):
            raise ValueError("Shape of query is incorrect, it has to be either a 1D array or 2D (1, N)")
```

## Steps to reproduce the bug

follow the steps described here: https://huggingface.co/course/chapter5/6?fw=tf

```python
 question_embedding.shape # (1, 768)

 scores, samples = embeddings_dataset.get_nearest_examples(
    "embeddings", question_embedding, k=5 # Error
)

# "Shape of query is incorrect, it has to be either a 1D array or 2D (1, N)"
```

## Expected results
Should work without exception

## Actual results
Throws exception

Title: Add push_to_hub docs
State: closed

Since #3098 it's now possible to upload a dataset on the Hub directly from python using the `push_to_hub` method.
I just added a section in the "Upload a dataset to the Hub" tutorial.

I kept the section quite simple but let me know if it sounds good to you @LysandreJik @stevhliu :)

Comments:
Looks good to me! :)

Maybe we can mention that users can also set the `private` argument if they want to keep their dataset private? It would lead nicely into the next section on Privacy.

Thanks for your comments, I fixed the capitalization for consistency and added an passage to mention the `private` parameter and to have a nice transition to the Privacy section :)

I also added the login instruction that was missing before the user can actually upload a dataset.
Title: Add desc parameter to Dataset filter method
State: closed
Labels: description: New feature or request
name: enhancement

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
As I was filtering very large datasets I noticed the filter method doesn't have the desc parameter which is available in the map method. Why don't we add a desc parameter to the filter method both for consistency and it's nice to give some feedback to users during long operations on Datasets?

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add desc parameter to Dataset filter method

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
N/A

**Additional context**
N/A


Comments:
Hi,

`Dataset.map` allows more generic transforms compared to `Dataset.filter`, which purpose is very specific (to filter examples based on a condition). That's why I don't think we need the `desc` parameter there for consistency. #3196 has added descriptions to the  `Dataset` methods that call `.map` internally, but not for the `filter` method, so we should do that.

Do you have a description in mind? Maybe `"Filtering the dataset"` or `"Filtering the indices"`? If yes, feel free to open a PR.

I'm personally ok with adding the `desc` parameter actually. Let's say you have different filters, it can be nice to differentiate between the different filters when they're running no ?

@mariosasko the use case is filtering of a dataset prior to tokenization and subsequent training. As the dataset is huge it's just a matter of giving a user (model trainer) some feedback on what's going on. Otherwise, feedback is given for all steps in training preparation and not for filtering and the filtering in my use case lasts about 4-5 minutes. And yes, if there are more filtering stages, as @lhoestq pointed out, it would be nice to give some feedback. I thought desc is there already and got confused when I got the script error. 

I don't have a strong opinion on that, so having `desc` as a parameter is also OK.

Title: add bl books genre dataset
State: closed

First of all thanks for the fantastic library/collection of datasets 🤗

This pull request adds a dataset of metadata from digitised (mostly 19th Century) books from the British Library The [data](https://bl.iro.bl.uk/concern/datasets/1e1ccb46-65b4-4481-b6f8-b8129d5da053) contains various metadata about the books. In addition, a subset of the data includes 'genre' information which can be used for supervised text classification tasks. I hope that this offers easier access to a dataset for doing text classification on GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) data. 

I have tried to create three configurations that provide both an 'easy' version of the dataset if you want to use it for training a genre classification model and a more 'raw' version of the data for other potential use cases for the data. I am open to suggestions if this doesn't make sense. 

Similarly, for some of the arrow datatypes, I have had to fall back to strings since there are missing values for some fields/rows but I may have missed a more elegant way of dealing with it. 

Comments:
To fix the CI, feel free to run the `make style` command to format the code.

Then it also looks like the dummy_data.zip archives are all empty, which makes the tests fail. Can you try regenerating them ? They should have one file inside which is a dummy version of the file at https://bl.iro.bl.uk/downloads/36c7cd20-c8a7-4495-acbe-469b9132c6b1?locale=en

@lhoestq, thanks for that feedback. 

I should have made most of these changes now. The `--auto_generate` flag wasn't working because the file wasn't downloaded with a `.csv` extension. I used `--match_text_files "*"` to get around this. Because there is a lot of data that isn't annotated using the default line number for the dummy data causes the `annotated_raw` and the `title_genre_classifiction` configs to fail because they don't generate any examples — bumping the line numbers to `250` fixes this. This does make the dummy data a bit bigger, though. 

The total directory size for the dataset is now `150kb`. Is this okay, or do you want me to generate the dummy data manually instead? 

Hi ! yes 150kB is fine :)
Feel free to push your new dummy_data.zip files (I think the current one are still the empty ones)

@lhoestq I've pushed those dummy files now and added your other suggestions.

The CI failure is unrelated to this PR, merging :)

@lhoestq, thanks for all your help with this pull request 😀

description: A bug in a dataset script provided in the library
name: dataset bug

## Describe the bug
In the repository, every dataset has its metadata in a file called`dataset_infos.json`. But, this file is missing for two datasets: `chr_en` and `mc4`.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
Check [chr_en](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/tree/master/datasets/chr_en) and [mc4](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/tree/master/datasets/mc4)

Comments:
Hi ! Thanks for reporting :) 
We can easily add the metadata for `chr_en` IMO, but for mC4 it will take more time, since it requires to count the number of examples in each language

No problem. I am trying to do some analysis on the metadata of all available datasets. Is reading `metadata_infos.json` for each dataset the correct way to go? 

I noticed that the same information is also available as special variables inside .py file of each dataset. So, I was wondering if `metadata_infos.json` has been deprecated?

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8587189/142914413-a95a1abf-6f3e-4fbe-96e5-16d3ca39c831.png)


The `dataset_infos.json` files have more information and are made to be used to analyze the datasets without having to run/parse the python scripts. Moreover some datasets on the Hugging face don't even have a python script, and for those ones we'll make tools to generate the JSON file automatically :)

features = Features({
    'x': Sequence(Sequence(ClassLabel(names=['a', 'b']))),
})
print(features.encode_batch({
    'x': [
        [['a'], ['b']],
        [[], ['b']],
    ]
}))
```

## Expected results
print `{'x': [[[0], [1]], [[], ['1']]]}`

## Actual results
print `{'x': [[[0], [1]], [[], ['b']]]}`

## Environment info
- `datasets` version: 1.15.1
- Platform: Linux-5.13.0-21-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.34
- Python version: 3.9.7
- PyArrow version: 6.0.0

## Additional information
I think the issue stems from [here](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/8555197a3fe826e98bd0206c2d031c4488c53c5c/src/datasets/features/features.py#L847-L848).
