Faiss GPU index cannot be serialised when passed to trainer 
State: open

### Describe the bug

I am working on a retrieval project and encountering I have encountered two issues in the hugging face faiss integration:

1. I am trying to pass in a dataset with a faiss index to the Huggingface trainer. The code works for a cpu faiss index, but doesn't for a gpu one, getting error:

```
The index was created with the add_faiss_index method            
```
train_dataset.add_faiss_index(
                column='embeddings',
                index_name='embeddings',
                string_factory=faiss_index_string,
                train_size=config.faiss_train_size,
                device=0,  # Use -1 for CPU, or specify GPU device ID
                faiss_verbose=True
            )

```
2. Athough faiss is written to be compatible on the gpu for searching [https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/wiki/Faiss-on-the-GPU](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/wiki/Faiss-on-the-GPU) I am getting error when trying to use the hugggingface code to do the search on gpu. This seems to be caused by this line https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/f9975f636542df7f95c27065ea93147440d690b7/src/datasets/search.py#L376 producing error 

```
    total_scores, total_examples = self.dataset.get_nearest_examples_batch('embeddings', embeddings, k=self.k)
  File "/users/rubman/.conda/envs/protein_npt_env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/search.py", line 773, in get_nearest_examples_batch
    total_scores, total_indices = self.search_batch(index_name, queries, k, **kwargs)
  File "/users/rubman/.conda/envs/protein_npt_env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/search.py", line 727, in search_batch
    return self._indexes[index_name].search_batch(queries, k, **kwargs)
  File "/users/rubman/.conda/envs/protein_npt_env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/search.py", line 376, in search_batch
    if not queries.flags.c_contiguous:
AttributeError: 'Tensor' object has no attribute 'flags'
```


### Steps to reproduce the bug

```
train_dataset.add_faiss_index(
                column='embeddings',
                index_name='embeddings',
                string_factory=faiss_index_string,
                train_size=config.faiss_train_size,
                device=0,  # Use -1 for CPU, or specify GPU device ID
                faiss_verbose=True
            )
Trainer(
            model=model,
            args=args,
            train_dataset=train_dataset,
            eval_dataset=eval_dataset,
            data_collator=data_collator,
            tokenizer=tokenizer
        )
train_dataset.get_nearest_examples_batch('embeddings', embeddings, k=self.k)
```

### Expected behavior

I would expect the faiss database code to be gpu compatible 

### Environment info

huggingface Version: 2.16.1

Hi ! make sure your query embeddings are numpy arrays, not torch tensors ;)

Hi Quentin, not sure how that solves the problem number 1. I am trying to pass on a dataset with a faiss gpu for training to the standard trainer but getting this serialisation error. What is a workaround this? I do not want to remove the faiss index, as I would want to use it to create batches of retrieved samples from the dataset. 
Thanks in advance for your help!

Issue number one seems to be an issue with FAISS indexes not being compatible with copy.deepcopy.

Maybe you try to not remove the columns, e.g. by passing `remove_unused_columns=False`
