Title: load json dataset interrupt when dtype cast problem occured
State: open

### Describe the bug

i have a json like this:
[
    {"id": 1, "name": 1},
    {"id": 2, "name": "Nan"},
    {"id": 3, "name": 3}, 
    ....
]
，which have several problematic rows data like row 2, then i load it with datasets.load_dataset('json', data_files=['xx.json'], split='train'), it will report like this:
Generating train split: 0 examples [00:00, ? examples/s]Failed to read file 'C:\Users\gawinjunwu\Downloads\test\data\a.json' with error <class 'pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid'>: Could not convert '2' with type str: tried to convert to int64

Could datasets skip those problematic data row? 

### Steps to reproduce the bug

prepare a json file like this:
[
    {"id": 1, "name": 1},
    {"id": 2, "name": "Nan"},
    {"id": 3, "name": 3}
]
then use datasets.load_dataset('json', dir_files=['xxx.json']) to load the json file

### Expected behavior

skip the problematic data row and load row1 and row3

### Environment info

python3.9

Comments:
Indeed the JSON dataset builder raises an error when it encounters an unexpected type.

There's an old PR open to add away to ignore such elements though, if it can help: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/2838
Title: [2.12.0] DatasetDict.save_to_disk not saving to S3
State: closed

### Describe the bug

When trying to save a `DatasetDict` to a private S3 bucket using `save_to_disk`, the artifacts are instead saved locally, and not in the S3 bucket.

I have tried using the deprecated `fs` as well as the `storage_options` arguments and I get the same results.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Create a DatsetDict `dataset`
2. Create a S3FileSystem object
`s3 = datasets.filesystems.S3FileSystem(key=aws_access_key_id, secret=aws_secret_access_key)`
3. Save using `dataset_dict.save_to_disk(f"{s3_bucket}/{s3_dir}/{dataset_name}", storage_options=s3.storage_options)` or `dataset_dict.save_to_disk(f"{s3_bucket}/{s3_dir}/{dataset_name}", fs=s3)`
4. Check the corresponding S3 bucket and verify nothing has been uploaded
5. Check the path at f"{s3_bucket}/{s3_dir}/{dataset_name}" and verify that files have been saved there

### Expected behavior

Artifacts are uploaded at the f"{s3_bucket}/{s3_dir}/{dataset_name}" S3 location.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.12.0
- Platform: macOS-13.3.1-x86_64-i386-64bit
- Python version: 3.11.2
- Huggingface_hub version: 0.14.1
- PyArrow version: 12.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.0.1

Comments:
Hi ! Can you try adding the `s3://` prefix ?
```python
f"s3://{s3_bucket}/{s3_dir}/{dataset_name}"
```

Ugh, yeah that was it. Thank you!

Hi @thejamesmarq, by any chance, did you use multiprocessing `num_proc > 1` when saving your dataset on the s3 bucket ? I'm struggling making it work in a multiprocessing setting while everything works fine with one processor.
Title: Incomplete docstring for `BuilderConfig`
State: closed
Labels: description: Good for newcomers
name: good first issue

Hi guys !
I stumbled upon this docstring while working on a project.
Some of the attributes have missing descriptions.

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/bc5fef5b6d91f009e4101684adcb374df2c170f6/src/datasets/builder.py#L104-L117

Comments:
Thanks for reporting! You are more than welcome to improve `BuilderConfig`'s docstring.

This class serves an identical purpose as `tensorflow_datasets`'s `BuilderConfig`, and its docstring is [here](https://github.com/tensorflow/datasets/blob/a95e38b5bb018312c3d3720619c2a8ef83ebf57f/tensorflow_datasets/core/dataset_builder.py#L81), so feel free to re-use parts of it.
Title: Ability to update a dataset
State: open
Labels: description: New feature or request
name: enhancement

### Feature request

The ability to load a dataset, add or change something, and save it back to disk.

Maybe it's possible, but I can't work out how to do it, e.g. this fails:

```py
import datasets

dataset = datasets.load_from_disk("data/test1")
dataset = dataset.add_item({"text": "A new item"})
dataset.save_to_disk("data/test1")
```

With the error:
```
PermissionError: Tried to overwrite /mnt/c/Users/david/py/learning/mini_projects/data_sorting_and_filtering/data/test1 but a dataset can't overwrite itself.
```


### Motivation

My use case is that I want to process a dataset in a particular way but it doesn't fit in memory if I do it in one go. So I want to perform a loop and at each step in the loop, process one shard and append it to an ever-growing dataset. The code in the loop will load a dataset, add some rows, then save it again.

Maybe I'm just thinking about things incorrectly and there's a better approach. FWIW I can't use `dataset.map()` to do the task because that doesn't work with `num_proc` when adding rows, so is confined to a single process which is too slow.

The only other way I can think of is to create a new file each time, but surely that's not how people do this sort of thing.

### Your contribution

Comments:
This [reply](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/how-do-i-add-things-rows-to-an-already-saved-dataset/27423) from @mariosasko on the forums may be useful :)

In this case, I think we can avoid the `PermissionError` by unpacking the underlying `ConcatenationTable` and saving only the newly added data blocks (in new files).

Thanks @stevhliu and @mariosasko , so saving to individual files then loading them later, concatenating again and saving again is the recommended way. Good to know.

Question that I hope doesn't sound rude: is this sort of thing (processing a dataset that doesn't fit in memory) outside of `datasets`'s core area of focus? Are there other tools you would recommend to do this sort of thing that play nice with `datasets`? Or is it just that I've found myself in a niche situation that hasn't specifically been catered for?
Title: Easy way to create a Kaggle dataset from a Huggingface dataset?
State: open

I'm not sure whether this is more appropriately addressed with HuggingFace or Kaggle.  I would like to somehow directly create a Kaggle dataset from a HuggingFace Dataset.

While Kaggle does provide the option to create a dataset from a URI, that URI must point to a single file.  For example:

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5355286/235792394-7c559d07-4aff-45b7-ad2b-9c5280c88415.png)


Is there some mechanism from huggingface to represent a dataset (such as that from `load_dataset('wmt14', 'de-en', split='train')` as a single file?  Or, some other way to get that into a Kaggle dataset so that I can use the huggingface `datasets` module to process and consume it inside of a Kaggle notebook?

Thanks in advance!


Comments:
Hi @hrbigelow , I'm no expert for such a question so I'll ping @lhoestq from the `datasets` library (also this issue could be moved there if someone with permission can do it :) )

Hi ! Many datasets are made of several files, and how they are parsed often requires a python script. Because of that, datasets like wmt14 are not available as a single file on HF. Though you can create this file using `datasets`:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("wmt14", "de-en", split="train")

ds.to_json("wmt14-train.json")
# OR to parquet, which is compressed:
# ds.to_parquet("wmt14-train.parquet")
```

We are also working on providing parquet exports for all datasets, but wmt14 is not supported yet (we're rolling it out for datasets <1GB first). They're usually available in the `refs/convert/parquet` branch (empty for wmt14):

also cc @nateraw for visibility on this (and cc @osanseviero too)

I've requested support for creating a Kaggle dataset from an imported HF dataset repo on their "forum" here: https://www.kaggle.com/discussions/product-feedback/427142 (upvotes appreciated 🙂)
Title: Cannot shuffle interleaved IterableDataset with "all_exhausted" stopping strategy
State: closed
Labels: description: Something isn't working
name: bug

name: streaming

### Describe the bug

Shuffling interleaved `IterableDataset` with "all_exhausted" strategy yields non-exhaustive sampling.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```py
from datasets import IterableDataset, interleave_datasets

def gen(bias, length):
  for i in range(length):
    yield dict(a=bias+i)

seed = 42
probabilities = [0.2, 0.6, 0.2]
d1 = IterableDataset.from_generator(lambda: gen(0, 3))
d2 = IterableDataset.from_generator(lambda: gen(10, 4))
d3 = IterableDataset.from_generator(lambda: gen(20, 3))
ds = interleave_datasets([d1, d2, d3], probabilities=probabilities, seed=seed, stopping_strategy='all_exhausted')
ds = ds.shuffle(buffer_size=1000)
for x in ds:
  print(x)
```

This code produces 
```
{'a': 0}
{'a': 22}
{'a': 20}
{'a': 21}
{'a': 10}
{'a': 1}
```

### Expected behavior

It should produce a longer list of examples to exhaust all the datasets.
If you comment out the shuffle line, it will exhaust all the datasets properly.
Here is the output if you comment out shuffling:
```
{'a': 10}
{'a': 11}
{'a': 20}
{'a': 12}
{'a': 0}
{'a': 21}
{'a': 13}
{'a': 10}
{'a': 1}
{'a': 11}
{'a': 12}
{'a': 22}
{'a': 13}
{'a': 20}
{'a': 10}
{'a': 11}
{'a': 12}
{'a': 2}
```

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.12.0
- Platform: Linux-5.10.147+-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
- Python version: 3.10.11

Title: load_dataset: TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable, on local dataset filename changes
State: open

### Describe the bug

I've adapted Databrick's [train_dolly.py](/databrickslabs/dolly/blob/master/train_dolly.py) to train using a local dataset, which has been working. Upon changing the filenames of the `.json` & `.py` files in my local dataset directory, `dataset = load_dataset(path_or_dataset)["train"]` throws the error:

```python
2023-04-30 09:10:52 INFO [training.trainer] Loading dataset from dushowxa-characters
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/data/dushowxa-dolly/train_dushowxa.py", line 26, in <module>

    builder_instance: DatasetBuilder = builder_cls(
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
```
The local dataset filenames were of the form `dushowxa-characters/expanse-dushowxa-characters.json` and are now of the form `dushowxa-characters/dushowxa-characters.json` (the word `expanse-` was removed from the filenames). Is this perhaps a dataset caching issue?

I have attempted to manually clear caches, but to no effect:

```sh
rm -rfv ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets/*
rm -rfv ~/.cache/huggingface/modules/* 
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Run `python3 train_dushowxa.py` (adapted from Databrick's [train_dolly.py](/databrickslabs/dolly/blob/master/train_dolly.py)).

### Expected behavior

Training succeeds as before local dataset filenames were changed.

### Environment info

Ubuntu 22.04, Python 3.10.6, venv
```python
accelerate>=0.16.0,<1

datasets>=2.10.0,<3
deepspeed>=0.9.0,<1

langchain>=0.0.139
```

Comments:
This error means a `DatasetBuilder` subclass that generates the dataset could not be found inside the script, so make sure `dushowxa-characters/dushowxa-characters.py `is a valid dataset script (assuming `path_or_dataset` is `dushowxa-characters`)

Also, we should improve the error to make it more obvious what the problem is.

Hey guys!

Thanks for creating the wiki_dpr dataset!

I am currently trying to combine wiki_dpr and my own datasets. but I don't know how to make the embedding value the same way as wiki_dpr.

As an experiment, I embeds the text of id="7" of wiki_dpr, but this result was very different from wiki_dpr.

Comments:
Hi ! I don't remember exactly how it was done, but maybe you have to embed `f"{title}<sep>{text}"` ?

Using a HF tokenizer it corresponds to doing
```python
tokenized = tokenizer(titles, texts)
```

Title: Improve `Create a dataset` tutorial 
State: open
Labels: description: Improvements or additions to documentation
name: documentation

Our [tutorial on how to create a dataset](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/create_dataset) is a bit misleading. 
1. In **Folder-based builders** section it says that we have two folder-based builders as standard builders, but we also have similar builders (that can be created from directory with data of required format) for `csv`, `json/jsonl`, `parquet` and `txt` files. We have info about these loaders in separate [guide for loading](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading#local-and-remote-files) but it's worth briefly mentioning them in the beginning tutorial because they are more common and for consistency. Would be helpful to add the link to the full guide.
2. **From local files** section lists methods for creating a dataset from in-memory data which are also described in [loading guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading#inmemory-data).  

Maybe we should actually rethink and restructure this tutorial somehow.

Comments:
I can work on this. The link to the tutorial seems to be broken though @polinaeterna. 

@isunitha98selvan would be great, thank you! which link are you talking about? I think it should work: https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/create_dataset

Hey I don't mind working on this issue. From my understanding, we want to let the reader know that they can build datasets from `csv`, `json/jsonl`, `parquet` and `txt` files in the **folder-based builders** section and include a link to the full guide. Then in the **from local files** section, we just want to list the methods from in-memory data section such as `.from_dict()`. 

Hey @polinaeterna, I have a pull request for this issue. Can you review and see if it needs any changes?

### Steps to reproduce the bug

The following two code, get totally different behavior.

1. load_dataset('mbzuai/bactrian-x','en')

2. load_dataset('MBZUAI/Bactrian-X','en')

Comments:
Hi @haonan-li , thank you for the report! It seems to be a bug on the [`huggingface_hub`](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub) site, there is even no such dataset as `mbzuai/bactrian-x` on the Hub.  I opened and [issue](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/issues/1453) there.

I think `load_dataset("mbzuai/bactrian-x")` shouldn't be loaded at all and raise an error but because of [this fallback](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/main/src/datasets/load.py#L1194) to packaged loaders when no other options are applicable, it loads the dataset with standard `json` loader instead of the custom loading script.

Title: TIFF/TIF support 
State: closed
Labels: description: New feature or request
name: enhancement

### Feature request

I currently have a dataset (with tiff and json files) where I have to do this:

`wget path_to_data/images.zip && unzip images.zip`

`wget path_to_data/annotations.zip && unzip annotations.zip`
 
 Would it make sense a contribution that supports these type of files? 

### Motivation

instead of using `load_dataset` have to use wget as these files are not supported for annotations with JSON and images with TIFF files. 


Additionally to this, the PIL formatting from datasets does not read correctly the image channels with TIFF format, besides multichannel adaptation might be necessary as well (as my data e.g has more than 3 channels)

### Your contribution

1. Support TIFF images over multi channel format
2. Support JSON annotations

Comments:
The issue with multichannel TIFF images has already been reported in Pillow (https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/1888). We can't do much about it on our side.

Still, to avoid the error, you can bypass the default Pillow decoding and define a custom one as follows:
```python
import tifffile # pip install tifffile

dset = dset.cast_column("image", datasets.Image(decode=False))

def decode_mutlichannel_tiff(batch):
    batch["image"] = [tifffile.imread(image["path"]) for image in batch["image"]]
    return batch

dset.set_transform(decode_mutlichannel_tiff)
```

Regarding the annotations, in which format are they? In the COCO format? I think this is a bit too specific to have a built-in loader for it.

This snippet is awesome! I know I probably should have gotten deeper in to the docs to find cast_column and set_transform, but perhaps a link ushering folks to that documentation or even this thread somewhere in https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/image_load would be helpful? Thanks again for the snippet

We have a section on custom decoding [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/process#format-transform) (for the audio case though)

Btw, we can close this issue as it should be addressed in Pillow rather than here. 

For sure, if image based stuff becomes a priority I think guiding folks to an image decoder section would be really helpful, but im just one dev :) and I know priorities gotta be balanced so no worries. Thanks again for the snippet, agreed we can close
