`datasets` can't read a Parquet file in Python 3.9.13
State: closed
Labels: description: Something isn't working
name: bug

### Describe the bug

I have an error when trying to load this [dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-dedup-pjj) (it's private but I can add you to the bigcode org). `datasets` can't read one of the parquet files in the Java subset

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("bigcode/the-stack-dedup-pjj", data_dir="data/java", split="train", revision="v1.1.a1", use_auth_token=True)
````
```
  File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 100, in pyarrow.lib.check_status
pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: Parquet magic bytes not found in footer. Either the file is corrupted or this is not a parquet file.
```
It seems to be an issue with new Python versions, Because it works in these two environements:
```
- `datasets` version: 2.6.1
- Platform: Linux-5.4.0-131-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
- Python version: 3.9.7
- PyArrow version: 9.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.3.4
```

```
- `datasets` version: 2.6.1
- Platform: Linux-4.19.0-22-cloud-amd64-x86_64-with-debian-10.13
- Python version: 3.7.12
- PyArrow version: 9.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.3.4
```
But not in this:
```
- `datasets` version: 2.6.1
- Platform: Linux-4.19.0-22-cloud-amd64-x86_64-with-glibc2.28
- Python version: 3.9.13
- PyArrow version: 9.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.3.4
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Load the dataset in python 3.9.13

### Expected behavior

Load the dataset without the pyarrow error.

### Environment info

```
- `datasets` version: 2.6.1
- Platform: Linux-4.19.0-22-cloud-amd64-x86_64-with-glibc2.28
- Python version: 3.9.13
- PyArrow version: 9.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.3.4
```

Comments:
Could you share the full stack trace please ?


Can you also try running this code ? It can be useful to determine if the issue comes from `datasets` or `fsspec` (streaming) or `pyarrow` (parquet reading):
```python
ds = load_dataset("parquet", data_files=a_parquet_file_url, use_auth_token=True)
```

Here's the full trace
```

Can you check you used the right token ? You shouldn't get a 401 using your token

I checked it’s the right token, when loading the full dataset I get the error after data extraction so I can access the files.

Could it be that I'm using a wrong url, I just copied it from the address bar

The URL is wrong indeed, the right one is the one with "resolve" (the one you get when clicking on "download")- otherwise you try to download an html page ;)
```
https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-dedup-pjj/resolve/v1.1.a1/data/java/data_0000.parquet
```

Ah thanks! So I tried it with the first parquet file and it works, is there a way to know which parquet file was causing the issue since there are a lot of shards?

I think you have to try them all :/

Alternatively you can add a try/catch in `parquet.py` in `datasets` to raise the name of the file that fails at doing `parquet_file = pq.ParquetFile(f)` when you run your initial code
```python
load_dataset("bigcode/the-stack-dedup-pjj", data_dir="data/java", split="train", revision="v1.1.a1", use_auth_token=True)
```
but it will still iterate on all the files until it fails

Ok I will do that

I did find the file, and I get the same error as before

Can you check the JSON file associated to `/home/loubna_huggingface_co/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/93431bc4380de07de8b0ab533666cb5a6120cbe266779e0a63c86bf7717475d7` ? In the JSON file we can know from where it was downloaded

You can find it at `/home/loubna_huggingface_co/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/93431bc4380de07de8b0ab533666cb5a6120cbe266779e0a63c86bf7717475d7.json`

It's this file `https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-dedup-pjj/resolve/f48656daa9f3a3607dacf8b57a65810a6a7a7f73/data/java/data_0022.parquet`  loading it gives the same error

I'm able to load it properly using
```python
ds = load_dataset("parquet", data_files=a_parquet_file_url, use_auth_token=token)
```

My guess is that your download was corrupted. Please delete `93431bc4380de07de8b0ab533666cb5a6120cbe266779e0a63c86bf7717475d7` and `93431bc4380de07de8b0ab533666cb5a6120cbe266779e0a63c86bf7717475d7.json` locally and try again

That worked, thanks! But I thought if something went wrong with a download `datasets` creates new cache for all the files, that's not the case? (at some point I even changed dataset versions so it was still using that cache?)

Cool !

> But I thought if something went wrong with a download datasets creates new cache for all the files

We don't perform integrity verifications if we don't know in advance the hash of the file to download.

> at some point I even changed dataset versions so it was still using that cache?

`datasets` caches the files by URL and ETag. If the content of a file changes, then the ETag changes and so it redownloads the file

I see, thank you!


I experience the same error in v 2.12.0. But found out it was due to one column from polars was a categorical dtype (related to the error from #5706. Temporarily resolved it by casting the column to str instead.
