State: closed
Labels: name: bug

## Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
When using `load_dataset` with json files, if the files are too large, there will be "Exceeded maximum rows" error.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
dataset = load_dataset('json', data_files=data_files) # data files have 3M rows in a single file
```

## Expected results
No error

## Actual results
```
