fsspec 2022.8.2 breaks xopen in streaming mode
State: closed
Labels: description: Something isn't working
name: bug

## Describe the bug
When fsspec 2022.8.2 is installed in your environment, xopen will prematurely close files, making streaming mode inoperable.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python

import datasets

data = datasets.load_dataset('MLCommons/ml_spoken_words', 'id_wav', split='train', streaming=True)

```

## Expected results
Dataset should load as iterator.

## Actual results
```

Comments:
loading `fsspec==2022.7.1` fixes this issue, setup.py would need to be changed to prevent users from using the latest version of fsspec.

Opened [PR](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/4962) to address this.

Hi @DCNemesis, thanks for reporting.

That was a temporary issue in `fsspec` releases 2022.8.0 and 2022.8.1. But they fixed it in their patch release 2022.8.2 (and yanked both previous versions). See:
- https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/18846

Are you sure you have version 2022.8.2 installed?
```shell
pip install -U fsspec
```


@albertvillanova I was using a temporary Google Colab instance, but checking it again today it seems it was loading 2022.8.1 rather than 2022.8.2. It's surprising that colab is using the version that was replaced the same day it was released. Testing with 2022.8.2 did work. It appears Colab [will be fixing it](https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/issues/3055) on their end too. 

Thanks for the additional information.

Once we know 2022.8.2 works, I'm closing this issue. Feel free to reopen it if necessary.

Colab just upgraded their default `fsspec` version to 2022.8.2:
