Multiprocessing windows error

As described here https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-xlsr-wav2vec2

When using the num_proc argument on windows the whole Python environment crashes and hanging in loop.
For example at the map_to_array part.
An error occures because the cache file already exists and windows throws and error. After this the log crashes into an loop 

Comments:
Hi ! Thanks for reporting.
This looks like a bug, could you try to provide a minimal code example that reproduces the issue ? This would be very helpful !

Otherwise I can try to run the wav2vec2 code above on my side but probably not this week..

```
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset('glue', 'mrpc', split='train')


updated_dataset = dataset.map(lambda example: {'sentence1': 'My sentence: ' + example['sentence1']}, num_proc=4)

```






I was able to copy some of the shell 
This is repeating every half second

Thanks this is really helpful !
I'll try to reproduce on my side and come back to you

if __name__ == '__main__':


This line before calling the map function stops the error but the script still repeats endless

Indeed you needed `if __name__ == '__main__'` since accoding to [this stackoverflow post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/18205006):

> On Windows the subprocesses will import (i.e. execute) the main module at start. You need to insert an if __name__ == '__main__': guard in the main module to avoid creating subprocesses recursively.

Regarding the hanging issue, can you try to update `dill` and `multiprocess` ?

It's already on the newest version

```

I was adding freeze support before calling the mapping function like this
if __name__ == '__main__':
    freeze_support()
   dataset.map(....)

Usually OSError of an arrow file on windows means that the file is currently opened as a dataset object, so you can't overwrite it until the dataset object falls out of scope.
Can you make sure that there's no dataset object that loaded the `cache-9b4f203a63742dfc.arrow` file ?

Now I understand
The error occures because the script got restarted in another thread, so the object is already loaded.
Still don't have an idea why a new thread starts the whole script again
