Add env variable for MAX_IN_MEMORY_DATASET_SIZE_IN_BYTES

Add env variable for `MAX_IN_MEMORY_DATASET_SIZE_IN_BYTES`.

This will allow to turn off default behavior: loading in memory (and not caching) small datasets.

Fix #2387.

Comments:
Thank you for clarifying the precedence, @albertvillanova 

Isn't it typically the case where env vars have the highest precedence? 

In my understanding the point of env vars is to be able to override software w/o needing to touch the code. 

Please correct me if this is not so in the general case.

Hi @stas00, 

Well, I'm not an expert on this topic, but the precedence hierarchy I have normally found is from higher to lower:
- command line parameters
- env vars
- config files
So yes, normally env vars have precedence over configuration files.

Anyway, for Datasets, there are no configuration files. The _in-memory_ config is set from default values or env vars (which have precedence over default values). But this is done at import.

However, once the library is imported, the user can modify the in-memory config, and this will have precedence over the rest of mechanisms (which take place only at import).

In my limited experience env vars are typically above cmd line args, so that one can override scripts with cmd lines using env vars, but usually one then uses env vars inside cmd line args, so it's loud and clear.

For example specifying a specific gpu number on a command line will depend on `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` so gpu0 will be different if someone sets `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2,3` vs  `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1`.

> However, once the library is imported, the user can modify the in-memory config, and this will have precedence over the rest of mechanisms (which take place only at import).

And this is exactly the problem we are trying to solve here. For a good reason HF examples don't want to use `keep_in_memory=False`, and they may choose to now set `datasets.config.MAX_IN_MEMORY_DATASET_SIZE_IN_BYTES` and which means we again can't override it via env var.



oops, sorry, didn't think earlier - do we need to prefix this with `HF_DATASETS` or `HF_` like all the other env vars? or is it long enough already to be unique - it's just not telling the user in the config file what projet this variable is for...

You're right, I just opened https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/2409
News_commentary Dataset Translation Pairs are of Incorrect Language Specified Pairs

I used load_dataset to load the news_commentary dataset for "ar-en" translation pairs but found translations from Arabic to Hindi.  

```
train_ds = load_dataset("news_commentary", "ar-en", split='train[:98%]')
val_ds = load_dataset("news_commentary", "ar-en", split='train[98%:]')

# filtering out examples that are not ar-en translations but ar-hi
val_ds = val_ds.filter(lambda example, indice: indice not in chain(range(1312,1327) ,range(1384,1399), range(1030,1042)), with_indices=True)
```

@lhoestq there are many things missing in the README.md file, but this correction is right despite not passing the validation tests...

Yes indeed. We run the validation in all modified readme because we think that it is the time when contributors are the most likely to fix a dataset card - or it will never be done
strange datasets from OSCAR corpus

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/50871412/119260850-4f876b80-bc07-11eb-8894-124302600643.png)

From the [official site ](https://oscar-corpus.com/), the Yue Chinese dataset should have 2.2KB data.
7 training instances is obviously not a right number.
As I can read Yue Chinese, I call tell the last instance is definitely not something that would appear on Common Crawl.
And even if you don't read Yue Chinese, you can tell the first six instance are problematic.
(It is embarrassing, as the 7 training instances look exactly like something from a pornographic novel or flitting messages in a chat of a dating app)
It might not be the problem of the huggingface/datasets implementation, because when I tried to download the dataset from the official site, I found out that the zip file is corrupted.
I will try to inform the host of OSCAR corpus later.
Awy a remake about this dataset in huggingface/datasets is needed, perhaps after the host of the dataset fixes the issue.

> Hi @jerryIsHere , sorry for the late response! Sadly this is normal, the problem comes form fasttext's classifier which we used to create the original corpus. In general the classifier is not really capable of properly recognizing Yue Chineese so the file ends un being just noise from Common Crawl. Some of these problems with OSCAR were already discussed [here](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.12028.pdf) but we are working on explicitly documenting the problems by language on our website.

Missing original answers in kilt-TriviaQA

I previously opened an issue at https://github.com/facebookresearch/KILT/issues/42 but from the answer of @fabiopetroni it seems that the problem comes from HF-datasets

## Describe the bug
The `answer` field in kilt-TriviaQA, e.g. `kilt_tasks['train_triviaqa'][0]['output']['answer']` contains a list of alternative answer which are accepted for the question.  
However it'd be nice to know the original answer to the question (the only fields in `output` are `'answer', 'meta', 'provenance'`)

## How to fix
It can be fixed by retrieving the original answer from the original TriviaQA (e.g. `trivia_qa['train'][0]['answer']['value']`), perhaps at the same place as here where one retrieves the questions https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/kilt_tasks/README.md#loading-the-kilt-knowledge-source-and-task-data

cc @yjernite who previously answered to an issue about KILT and TriviaQA :)


Comments:
That could be useful indeed! Feel free to open a PR on the dataset card if you already have some code that runs, otherwise we'll take care of it soon :) 

I can open a PR but there is 2 details to fix:
- the name for the corresponding key (e.g. `original_answer`)
- how to implement it: I’m not sure what happens when you map `lambda x: {'input': ...}` as it keeps the other keys (e.g. `output`) intact but here since we want to set a nested value (e.g. `x['output']['original_answer']`) I implemented it with a regular function (not lambda), see below

```py
def add_original_answer(x, trivia_qa, triviaqa_map):
    i = triviaqa_map[x['id']]
    x['output']['original_answer'] = trivia_qa['validation'][i]['answer']['value']
    return x
```
Accessing Arrow dataset cache_files

## Describe the bug
In datasets 1.5.0 the following code snippet would have printed the cache_files:

```
train_data = load_dataset('conll2003', split='train', cache_dir='data')
print(train_data.cache_files[0]['filename'])

```

However, in the newest release (1.6.1), it prints an empty list.

I also tried loading the dataset with `keep_in_memory=True` argument but still `cache_files` is empty.

Was wondering if this is a bug or I need to pass additional arguments so I can access the cache_files.


Comments:
Thanks @bhavitvyamalik for referencing the workaround. Setting `keep_in_memory=False` is working.
Add args description to DatasetInfo

Closes #2354 

I am not sure what `post_processed` and `post_processing_size` correspond to, so have left them empty for now. I also took a guess at some of the other fields like `dataset_size` vs `size_in_bytes`, so might have misunderstood their meaning.

Comments:
Thanks for the suggestions! I've included them and made a few minor tweaks along the way

Please merge master into this branch to fix the CI, I just fixed metadata validation tests.

ArrowDataset.save_to_disk produces files that cannot be read using pyarrow.feather

## Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from pyarrow import feather

dataset = load_dataset('imdb', split='train')
dataset.save_to_disk('dataset_dir')
table = feather.read_table('dataset_dir/dataset.arrow')
```

## Expected results
I expect that the saved dataset can be read by the official Apache Arrow methods.

## Actual results
```
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyarrow/feather.py", line 236, in read_table
    reader.open(source, use_memory_map=memory_map)

Comments:
Hi ! This is because we are actually using the arrow streaming format. We plan to switch to the arrow IPC format.
More info at #1933 

Not sure if this was resolved, but I am getting a similar error when trying to load a dataset.arrow file directly: `ArrowInvalid: Not an Arrow file`

Since we're using the streaming format, you need to use `open_stream`:

```python
import pyarrow as pa

def in_memory_arrow_table_from_file(filename: str) -> pa.Table:
    in_memory_stream = pa.input_stream(filename)
    opened_stream = pa.ipc.open_stream(in_memory_stream)
    pa_table = opened_stream.read_all()
    return pa_table

def memory_mapped_arrow_table_from_file(filename: str) -> pa.Table:
    memory_mapped_stream = pa.memory_map(filename)
    opened_stream = pa.ipc.open_stream(memory_mapped_stream)
    pa_table = opened_stream.read_all()
    return pa_table
```

Thank you very much for providing the code that can read arrow file to pa_table and finally to dict, but how to implement the reverse process, how to restore a dict to arrow file?
Improve task api code quality

Improves the code quality of the `TaskTemplate` dataclasses.

Changes:
* replaces `return NotImplemented` with raise `NotImplementedError` 
* replaces `sorted` with `len` in the uniqueness check 
* defines `label2id` and `id2label` in the `TextClassification` template as properties
* replaces the `object.__setattr__(self, attr, value)` syntax with (IMO nicer) `self.__dict__[attr] = value`

Comments:
Once this is merged, let's update `transformers` examples to use this new code. As currently all those tqdm bars are who knows what they are....

https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/11797

Sure @stas00! Once this is merged let's discuss what all changes can be done on `transformers` side

@bhavitvyamalik, as it has been merged would you like to tackle https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/11797?


Definitely @stas00. From what I could gather, you guys want more meaningful `.map` calls for all examples [here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples/pytorch)?

That's exactly right, @bhavitvyamalik 

Perhaps the best approach is to do one example, see that other maintainers agree on it. and then replicate to other.
Loading dataset from local path

I'm trying to load a local dataset with the code below

```
ds = datasets.load_dataset('my_script.py', 
                           data_files='corpus.txt', 
                           data_dir='/data/dir', 
                           cache_dir='.')
```
But internally a BuilderConfig is created, which tries to use getmtime on the data_files string, without using data_dir. Is this a bug or am I not using the load_dataset correctly?

Comments:
Version below works, checked again in the docs, and data_files should be a path.
```

ConvQuestions benchmark added

Hello,
I would like to integrate our dataset on conversational QA. The answers are grounded in the KG.
The work was published in CIKM 2019 (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3357384.3358016).
We hope for further research on how to deal with the challenges of factoid conversational QA.
Thanks! :)

Comments:
Thanks for your helpful comments and suggestions! :)
I integrated the additional fields, and extended some of the README/dataset card.
And I actually realized that we had the cc-by-4.0 for the dataset, so this was also changed.

I added the answers to the test set actually :)

Oh great ! Let me revert my change then
Align question answering tasks with sub-domains

As pointed out by @thomwolf in #2255 we should consider breaking with the pipeline taxonomy of `transformers` to account for the various types of question-answering domains:

> `question-answering` exists in two forms: abstractive and extractive question answering.
> 
> we can keep a generic `question-answering` but then it will probably mean diferrent schema of input/output for both (abstractive will have text for both while extractive can use spans indication as well as text).
> 
> Or we can also propose to use `abstractive-question-answering` and `extractive-question-answering` for instance.
> Maybe we could have `question-answering-abstractive` and `question-answering-extractive` if somehow we can use a for a completion or search in the future (detail).
> Actually I see that people are more organizing in terms of general and sub-tasks, for instance on paperwithcode: https://paperswithcode.com/area/natural-language-processing and on nlpprogress: https://github.com/sebastianruder/NLP-progress/blob/master/english/question_answering.md#squad
> 
> Probably the best is to align with one of these in terms of denomination, PaperWithCode is probably the most active and maintained and we work with them as well.
> Maybe you want to check with a few QA datasets that this schema make sense. Typically NaturalQuestions, TriviaQA and can be good second datasets to compare to and be sure of the generality of the schema.
> 
> A good recent list of QA datasets to compare the schemas among, is for instance in the UnitedQA paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00178

Investigate which grouping of QA is best suited for `datasets` and adapt / extend the QA task template accordingly.

Closing this issue as the `task_templates` API has been deprecated.
Adding HendrycksTest dataset

Adding Hendrycks test from https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03300.
I'm having a bit of trouble with dummy data creation because some lines in the csv files aren't being loaded properly (only the first entry loaded in a row of length 6). The dataset is loading just fine. Hope you can kindly help!
Thank you!

Comments:
@lhoestq Thank you for the review. I've made the suggested changes. There still might be some problems with dummy data though due to some csv loading issues (which I haven't found the cause to).

I took a look at the dummy data and some csv lines were cropped. I fixed them :)

@andyzoujm Any reason why this dataset scrip was called "hendrycks_test" instead of "mmlu"?

We are thinking of renaming it...

That's because we didn't call it MMLU in the paper (the shorthand didn't
emerge until over a year later), and people at OpenAI were calling it that.

Json loader fails if user-specified features don't match the json data fields order

If you do
```python
dataset = load_dataset("json", data_files=data_files, features=features)
```
Then depending on the order of the features in the json data field it fails:
```python
[...]
~/Desktop/hf/datasets/src/datasets/packaged_modules/json/json.py in _generate_tables(self, files)
     94             if self.config.schema:
     95                 # Cast allows str <-> int/float, while parse_option explicit_schema does NOT
---> 96                 pa_table = pa_table.cast(self.config.schema)
     97             yield i, pa_table
[...]
ValueError: Target schema's field names are not matching the table's field names: ['tokens', 'ner_tags'], ['ner_tags', 'tokens']
```

This is because one must first re-order the columns of the table to match the `self.config.schema` before calling cast.

One way to fix the `cast` would be to replace it with:
```python
# reorder the arrays if necessary + cast to schema
# we can't simply use .cast here because we may need to change the order of the columns
pa_table = pa.Table.from_arrays([pa_table[name] for name in schema.names], schema=schema)
```

Missing ClassLabel encoding in Json loader

Currently if you want to load a json dataset this way
```python
dataset = load_dataset("json", data_files=data_files, features=features)
```
Then if your features has ClassLabel types and if your json data needs class label encoding (i.e. if the labels in the json files are strings and not integers), then it would fail:
```python
[...]
~/Desktop/hf/datasets/src/datasets/packaged_modules/json/json.py in _generate_tables(self, files)
     94             if self.config.schema:
     95                 # Cast allows str <-> int/float, while parse_option explicit_schema does NOT
---> 96                 pa_table = pa_table.cast(self.config.schema)
     97             yield i, pa_table
[...]
ArrowInvalid: Failed to parse string: 'O' as a scalar of type int64
```

This is because it just tries to cast the string data to integers, without applying the mapping str->int first

The current workaround is to do instead
```python
dataset = load_dataset("json", data_files=data_files)
dataset = dataset.map(features.encode_example, features=features)
```

For example if the parsing of the web_nlg tags worked correctly we would have:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42851186/118475444-8d1e5d00-b70c-11eb-98e9-844d4daf6139.png)

Therefore I don't think it's a good idea to rename the configurations from `release_v2.1` to `release_v2_1` as the code snippet would be wrong in this case.

Moreover we can't really disallow dots in configuration names and rename the configurations since it would be a big breaking change. It's commonly used, especially with multilingual datasets. For example `load_dataset("indic_glue", "sna.bn")`.

Is this something that can be fixed on the moonlanding side instead ?

> Is this something that can be fixed on the moonlanding side instead ?

Not really unless we change database:)

We'll maybe try to find another workaround, but super low-prio given that it's the only dataset that has those dotted keys in the YAML metadata

Ok, should we close this PR then ?
Preserve dtype for numpy/torch/tf/jax arrays

Fixes #625. This lets the user preserve the dtype of numpy array to pyarrow array which was getting lost due to conversion of numpy array -> list -> pyarrow array. 

Comments:
Hi @lhoestq, 
It turns out that pyarrow `ListArray` are not recognized as list-like when we get output from `numpy_to_pyarrow_listarray`. This might cause tests to fail. If possible can we convert that `ListArray` output to list inorder for tests to pass? Under the hood it'll maintain the dtype as that of numpy array passed during input only

Brought down the failing tests from 7 to 4. Let me know if that part looks good. Failing tests are looking quite similar. In `test_map_torch` https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/3d46bc384f811435e59e3916faa3aa20a1cf87bc/tests/test_arrow_dataset.py#L1039 and `test_map_tf`https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/3d46bc384f811435e59e3916faa3aa20a1cf87bc/tests/test_arrow_dataset.py#L1056 
they're expecting `float64`. Shouldn't that be `float32` now?

It's normal: pytorch and tensorflow use `float32` by default, unlike numpy which uses `float64`.

I think that we should always keep the precision of the original tensor (torch/tf/numpy).
It means that as it is in this PR it's fine (the precision is conserved when doing the torch/tf -> numpy conversion).

This is a breaking change but in my opinion the fact that we had Value("float64") for torch.float32 tensors was an issue already.

Let me know what you think. Cc @albertvillanova if you have an opinion on this

If we agree on doing this breaking change, we can just change the test. 

Hi @lhoestq, 
Merged master into this branch. Only changing the test is left for now (mentioned below) after which all tests should pass.

Yes feel free to update those tests :)

It would be nice to have the same test for JAX as well

Added same test for for JAX too. Also, I saw that I missed changing `test_cast_to_python_objects_jax` like I did for TF and PyTorch. Finished that as well
Allow model labels to be passed during task preparation

Models have a config with label2id. And we have the same for datasets with the ClassLabel feature type. At one point either the model or the dataset must sync with the other. It would be great to do that on the dataset side.

For example for sentiment classification on amazon reviews with you could have these labels:
- "1 star", "2 stars", "3 stars", "4 stars", "5 stars"
- "1", "2", "3", "4", "5"

Some models may use the first set, while other models use the second set.

Here in the `TextClassification` class, the user can only specify one set of labels, while many models could actually be compatible but have different sets of labels. Should we allow users to pass a list of compatible labels sets ?

Then in terms of API, users could use `dataset.prepare_for_task("text-classification", labels=model.labels)` or something like that.

The label set could also be the same but not in the same order. For NLI for example, some models use `["neutral", "entailment", "contradiction"]` and some others use `["neutral", "contradiction", "entailment"]`, so we should take care of updating the order of the labels in the dataset to match the labels order of the model.

Let me know what you think ! This can be done in a future PR

Hi ! Thanks for sharing :)
I think the best place to share this is probably the `Languages at Hugging Face` section of the forum:
https://discuss.huggingface.co/c/languages-at-hugging-face/15

Since this is not a dataset, I'm closing this PR if you don't mind

Thank you I will look into the link that you have shared with me.

normalized TOCs and titles in data cards

I started fixing some of the READMEs that were failing the tests introduced by @gchhablani but then realized that there were some consistent differences between earlier and newer versions of some of the titles (e.g. Data Splits vs Data Splits Sample Size, Supported Tasks vs Supported Tasks and Leaderboards). We also had different versions of the Table of Content

This PR normalizes all of them to the newer version

Comments:
Oh right! I'd be in favor of still having the same TOC across the board, we can either leave it as is or add a `[More Info Needed]` `Contributions` Section wherever it's currently missing, wdyt?

(I thought those were programmatically updated based on git history :D )

Merging for now to avoid conflict since there are so many changes but let's figure out the contributions section next ;)
Set to_json default to JSON lines

With this PR, the method `Dataset.to_json`:
- is added to the docs
- defaults to JSON lines

Comments:
This is perfect, @albertvillanova - thank you! Tested it to work.

Might it be a good idea to document the args to `to_json`?

and also even a very basic progress bar? took 10min for 8M large records for `openwebtext` so perhaps some indication of it's being alive every min or so?

@lhoestq I added tests for both `lines` and `orient`.
simpllify faiss index save

Fixes #2350

In some cases, Faiss GPU index objects do not have neither "device" nor "getDevice". Possibly this happens when some part of the index is computed on CPU.

In particular, this would happen with the index `OPQ16_128,IVF512,PQ32` (issue #2350). I did check it, but it is likely that `OPQ` or `PQ` transforms cause it.

I propose, instead of using the index object to get the device, to infer it form the `FaissIndex.device` field as it is done in `.add_vectors`. Here we assume that `.device` always corresponds to the index placement and it seems reasonable. 

Comments:
`FaissIndex.save` throws error on GPU

## Describe the bug

After training an index with a factory string `OPQ16_128,IVF512,PQ32` on GPU, `.save_faiss_index` throws this error.

```
  File "index_wikipedia.py", line 119, in <module>
    data["train"].save_faiss_index("text_emb", index_save_path)
  File "/home/vlialin/miniconda3/envs/cat/lib/python3.8/site-packages/datasets/search.py", line 470, in save_faiss_index
    index.save(file)
  File "/home/vlialin/miniconda3/envs/cat/lib/python3.8/site-packages/datasets/search.py", line 334, in save
    faiss.write_index(index, str(file))
  File "/home/vlialin/miniconda3/envs/cat/lib/python3.8/site-packages/faiss/swigfaiss_avx2.py", line 5654, in write_index
    return _swigfaiss.write_index(*args)
RuntimeError: Error in void faiss::write_index(const faiss::Index*, faiss::IOWriter*) at /root/miniconda3/conda-bld/faiss-pkg_1613235005464/work/faiss/impl/index_write.cpp:453: don't know how to serialize this type of index
```

## Steps to reproduce the bug

Any dataset will do, I just selected a familiar one.

```python
import numpy as np
import datasets
INDEX_STR = "OPQ16_128,IVF512,PQ32"
INDEX_SAVE_PATH = "will_not_save.faiss"

data = datasets.load_dataset("Fraser/news-category-dataset", split=f"train[:10000]")

def encode(item):
    return {"text_emb": np.random.randn(768).astype(np.float32)}

data = data.map(encode)

data.add_faiss_index(column="text_emb", string_factory=INDEX_STR, train_size=10_000, device=0)
data.save_faiss_index("text_emb", INDEX_SAVE_PATH)
```

## Expected results
Saving the index

## Actual results
Error in void faiss::write_index(const faiss::Index*, faiss::IOWriter*) ... don't know how to serialize this type of index

## Environment info
- `datasets` version: 1.6.2
- Platform: Linux-4.15.0-142-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.10
- Python version: 3.8.8
- PyTorch version (GPU?): 1.8.1+cu111 (True)
- Tensorflow version (GPU?): 2.2.0 (False)
- Using GPU in script?: Yes
- Using distributed or parallel set-up in script?: No


I will be proposing a fix in a couple of minutes

Comments:
Just in case, this is a workaround that I use in my code and it seems to do the job.

```python
if use_gpu_index:
    data["train"]._indexes["text_emb"].faiss_index = faiss.index_gpu_to_cpu(data["train"]._indexes["text_emb"].faiss_index)
```
Add tests for dataset cards

Adding tests for dataset cards

This PR will potentially remove the scripts being used for dataset tags and readme validation.

Additionally, this will allow testing dataset readmes by providing the name as follows:

```bash
pytest tests/test_dataset_cards.py::test_dataset_tags[fashion_mnist]
```
and

```bash
pytest tests/test_dataset_cards.py::test_readme_content[fashion_mnist]
```
or a combined test as:

```bash
pytest tests/test_dataset_cards.py::test_dataset_card[fashion_mnist]
```
@lhoestq 

Comments:
@lhoestq

Should I remove the scripts? or atleast remove running them from the CircleCI config?

Also, I hope it is okay that the combined method (metadata+content) is only a slow test, and for the Circle CI, I assume only non-slow tests are run? If yes, this would mean separate tests for content and metadata.

Also feel free to remove the scripts from the CI and also remove the scripts files :)
Add an API to access the language and pretty name of a dataset

It would be super nice to have an API to get some metadata of the dataset from the name and args passed to `load_dataset`. This way we could programmatically infer the language and the name of a dataset when creating model cards automatically in the Transformers examples scripts.

Comments:
Hi ! With @bhavitvyamalik we discussed about having something like
```python
from datasets import load_dataset_card

dataset_card = load_dataset_card("squad")
print(dataset_card.metadata.pretty_name)
# Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD)
print(dataset_card.metadata.languages)
# ["en"]

```
What do you think ?

I don't know if you already have a way to load the model tags in `transformers` but we can agree on the API to have something consistent.

Also note that the pretty name would only be used to show users something prettier than a dataset id, but in the end the source of truth will stay the dataset id (here `squad`).

That works for me!

maybe use the hub-backed dataset_info method? (so there's only one parser of README.md metadata)?

What dataset_info method are you talking about @julien-c ? In `huggingface_hub` I can only see `model_info`.

hmm the equivalent method in `datasets` (which could go into `huggingface_hub` at some point)

Indeed, this info can now be fetched with `huggingface_hub.dataset_info`, so I think we can close this issue.

ready for review @lhoestq
[Question] How to move and reuse preprocessed dataset? 

Hi, I am training a gpt-2 from scratch using run_clm.py.

I want to move and reuse the preprocessed dataset (It take 2 hour to preprocess),

I tried to :

copy path_to_cache_dir/datasets to new_cache_dir/datasets
set export HF_DATASETS_CACHE="new_cache_dir/"
but the program still re-preprocess the whole dataset without loading cache.

I also tried to torch.save(lm_datasets, fw), but the saved file is only 14M.

What is the proper way to do this?

Comments:
@lhoestq @LysandreJik


Hi :) Can you share with us the code you used ?


EDIT: from https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/11665#issuecomment-838348291 I understand you're using the run_clm.py script. Can you share your logs ?


Also note that for the caching to work, you must reuse the exact same parameters as in the first run. Did you change any parameter ? The `preprocessing_num_workers` should also stay the same

> Also note that for the caching to work, you must reuse the exact same parameters as in the first run. Did you change any parameter ? The `preprocessing_num_workers` should also stay the same

I only changed the `preprocessing_num_workers` maybe it is the problem~ I will try again~
Is there a way to join multiple datasets in one?

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I need to join 2 datasets, one that is in the hub and another I've created from my files. Is there an easy way to join these 2? 

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Id like to join them with a merge or join method, just like pandas dataframes. 

**Additional context**
If you want to extend an existing dataset with more data, for example for training a language model, you need that functionality. I've not found it in the documentation.

Comments:
Hi ! We don't have `join`/`merge` on a certain column as in pandas.
Maybe you can just use the [concatenate_datasets](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/package_reference/main_classes.html?highlight=concatenate#datasets.concatenate_datasets) function.


Hi! You can use `datasets_sql` for that now. As of recently, PyArrow also supports querying tables via Substrait, so I think we can start adding these methods to the API soon.
Columns are removed before or after map function applied?

## Describe the bug
According to the documentation when applying map function the [remove_columns ](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/processing.html#removing-columns) will be removed after they are passed to the function, but in the [source code](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/package_reference/main_classes.html#datasets.Dataset.map) it's documented that they are removed before applying function. I thinks the source code doc is more accurate, right?





Comments:
Hi! Columns are removed **after** applying the function and **before** updating the examples with the function's output (as per the docs [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/package_reference/main_classes#datasets.Dataset.map.remove_columns)). I agree the docs on this should be more clear.

Fix overflow issue in interpolation search

Fixes #2335 

More info about this error can be found [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53239890/why-do-i-keep-getting-this-error-runtimewarning-overflow-encountered-in-int-sc/53240100). 

Comments:
~~Seems like the CI failure is unrelated to this PR~~ (fixed with the merge). 

@lhoestq Can you please verify that everything is OK in terms of speed? Another solution is to change the offsets array dtype to np.int64 (but this doesn't scale in theory compared to Python integer which is unbound). I'm not sure why on my 64-bit machine the default numpy dtype is np.int32 tho.

Hi ! Thanks for the fix.
Unfortunately in terms of speed this is not acceptable :/
The `get_batch_of_1024_random_rows` metric or the `benchmark_getitem_100B ` benchmark is almost at 1sec instead of a few milliseconds.

Would it be possible to avoid the overflow by simply passing `dtype=np.int64` to `np.cumsum` ?
On windows machines the default is int32 unfortunately so we have to force the dtype to be int64



Yes, casting the array to np.int64 should work as well. Another option would be to cast the array elements (`arr[i], arr[j]`) in interpolation search to Python integers (bound only with memory) before multiplication (the error stems from this part: `(j - i) * (x - arr[i])`) when working with big values. But for now, the first option is OK for the sake of simplicity.
