Title: Change package name from "datasets" to something less generic
State: closed
Labels: name: enhancement
description: New feature or request

### Feature request

I'm repeatedly finding myself in situations where I want to have a package called `datasets.py` or `evaluate.py` in my code and can't because those names are being taken up by Huggingface packages. While I can understand how (even from the user's perspective) it's aesthetically pleasing to have nice terse library names, ultimately a library hogging simple names like this is something I find short-sighted, impractical and at my most irritable, frankly rude.

My preference would be a pattern like what you get with all the other big libraries like numpy or pandas:

```
import huggingface as hf
# hf.transformers, hf.datasets, hf.evaluate
```

or things like

```
import huggingface.transformers as tf
# tf.load_model(), etc
```

If this isn't possible for some technical reason, at least just call the packages something like `hf_transformers` and so on.

I realize this is a very big change that's probably been discussed internally already, but I'm making this issue and sister issues on each huggingface project just to start the conversation and begin tracking community feeling on the matter, since I suspect I'm not the only one who feels like this.

Sorry if this has been requested already on this issue tracker, I couldn't find anything looking for terms like "package name".

Sister issues:
- [transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/24934)
- **datasets**
- [evaluate](https://github.com/huggingface/evaluate/issues/476)

### Motivation

Not taking up package names the user is likely to want to use.

### Your contribution

No - more a matter of internal discussion among core library authors.

Comments: This would break a lot of existing code, so we can't really do this.I encountered this issue while working on a large project with 6+ years history. We have a submodule named datasets in the backend, and face a big challenge incorporating huggingface datasets into the project, especially considering django app renaming and other issues.
It would be nice if the authors at least provide a recipe on how to avoid name conflict in this situation.
Title: Skipping shard in the remote repo and resume upload
State: closed

### Describe the bug

For some reason when I try to resume the upload of my dataset, it is very slow to reach the index of the shard from which to resume the uploading.

From my understanding, the problem is in this part of the code:

arrow_dataset.py
```python
for index, shard in logging.tqdm(
            enumerate(itertools.chain([first_shard], shards_iter)),
            desc="Pushing dataset shards to the dataset hub",
            total=num_shards,
            disable=not logging.is_progress_bar_enabled(),
        ):
            shard_path_in_repo = path_in_repo(index, shard)
            # Upload a shard only if it doesn't already exist in the repository
            if shard_path_in_repo not in data_files:
```

In particular, iterating the generator is slow during the call:
```python
self._select_contiguous(start, length, new_fingerprint=new_fingerprint)
```

I wonder if it is possible to avoid calling this function for shards that are already uploaded and just start from the correct shard index.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Start the upload
```python
dataset = load_dataset("imagefolder", data_dir=DATA_DIR, split="train", drop_labels=True)    
dataset.push_to_hub("repo/name")
```
2. Stop and restart the upload after hundreds of shards

### Expected behavior

Skip the uploaded shards faster.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.5.1
- Platform: Linux-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.17
- Python version: 3.8.16
- PyArrow version: 12.0.1
- Pandas version: 2.0.2


Comments: Hi! `_select_contiguous` fetches a (zero-copy) slice of the dataset's Arrow table to build a shard, so I don't think this part is the problem. To me, the issue seems to be the step where we embed external image files' bytes (a lot of file reads). You can use `.map` with multiprocessing to perform this step before `push_to_hub` in a faster manner and cache it to disk:
```python
from datasets.table import embed_table_storage
# load_dataset(...)
format = dataset.format
dataset = dataset.with_format("arrow")
dataset = dataset.map(embed_table_storage, batched=True)
dataset = dataset.with_format(**format)
# push_to_hub(...)
```

(In Datasets 3.0, these external bytes will be written to an Arrow file when generating a dataset to avoid this "embed" step)Hi, thanks, this solution saves some time.
But can't we avoid embedding all external image files bytes with each push, skipping the images that have already been pushed into the repo?

Edit: Ok I missed the part of cache it manually on the disk the first time, this solves the problem. Thank you

Title: when i use datasets.load_dataset, i encounter the http connect error!
State: closed

### Describe the bug

`common_voice_test = load_dataset("audiofolder", data_dir="./dataset/",cache_dir="./cache",split=datasets.Split.TEST)`
when i run the code above, i got the error as below:
--------------------------------------------
ConnectionError: Couldn't reach https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/2.3.2/datasets/audiofolder/audiofolder.py (ConnectionError(MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='raw.githubusercontent.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /huggingface/datasets/2.3.2/datasets/audiofolder/audiofolder.py (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f299ed082e0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable'))")))


--------------------------------------------------
My all data is on local machine, why does it need to connect the internet? how can i fix it, because my machine cannot connect the internet.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1

### Expected behavior

no error when i use the load_dataset func

### Environment info

python=3.8.15

Comments: The `audiofolder` loader is not available in version `2.3.2`, hence the error. Please run the `pip install -U datasets` command to update the `datasets` installation to make `load_dataset("audiofolder", ...)` work.
Title: Loading column subset from parquet file produces error since version 2.13
State: closed

### Describe the bug

`load_dataset` allows loading a subset of columns from a parquet file with the `columns` argument. Since version 2.13, this produces the following error:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):                      
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/builder.py", line 1879, in _prepare_split_single
    for _, table in generator:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/packaged_modules/parquet/parquet.py", line 68, in _generate_tables
    raise ValueError(
ValueError: Tried to load parquet data with columns '['sepal_length']' with mismatching features '{'sepal_length': Value(dtype='float64', id=None), 'sepal_width': Value(dtype='float64', id=None), 'petal_length': Value(dtype='float64', id=None), 'petal_width': Value(dtype='float64', id=None), 'species': Value(dtype='string', id=None)}'
```

This seems to occur because `datasets` is checking whether the columns in the schema exactly match the provided list of columns, instead of whether they are a subset.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
# Prepare some sample data

import pandas as pd

iris = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwaskom/seaborn-data/master/iris.csv')
iris.to_parquet('iris.parquet')

# ['sepal_length', 'sepal_width', 'petal_length', 'petal_width',  'species']
print(iris.columns)

# Load data with datasets

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load full parquet file
dataset = load_dataset('parquet', data_files='iris.parquet')

# Load column subset; throws error for datasets>=2.13
dataset = load_dataset('parquet', data_files='iris.parquet', columns=['sepal_length'])
```

### Expected behavior

No error should be thrown and the given column subset should be loaded.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.13.0
- Platform: Linux-5.15.0-76-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.35
- Python version: 3.10.9
- Huggingface_hub version: 0.16.4

Title: Documentation links to examples are broken
State: closed

### Describe the bug

The links at the bottom of [add_dataset](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v1.2.1/add_dataset.html) to examples of specific datasets are all broken, for example

- text classification: [ag_news](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/ag_news/ag_news.py) (original data are in csv files)

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Click on links to examples from latest documentation

### Expected behavior

Links should be up to date - it might be more stable to link to https://huggingface.co/datasets/ag_news/blob/main/ag_news.py

### Environment info

dataset v1.2.1

Comments: These docs are outdated (version 1.2.1 is over two years old). Please refer to [this](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/dataset_script) version instead.

Initially, we hosted datasets in this repo, but now you can find them [on the HF Hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets) (e.g. the [`ag_news`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ag_news/blob/main/ag_news.py) script)Sorry I thought I'd selected the latest version.
Title: load_dataset hangs on WSL
State: closed

### Describe the bug

load_dataset simply hangs. It happens once every ~5 times, and interestingly hangs for a multiple of 5 minutes (hangs for 5/10/15 minutes). Using the profiler in PyCharm shows that it spends the time at <method 'connect' of '_socket.socket' objects>. However, a local cache is available so I am not sure why socket is needed. ([profiler result](https://ibb.co/0Btbbp8))

It only happens on WSL for me. It works for native Windows and my MacBook. (cache quickly recognized and loaded within a second).



### Steps to reproduce the bug

I am using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64)

Python 3.10.10 (main, Mar 21 2023, 18:45:11) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux
>>> import datasets
>>> datasets.load_dataset('ai2_arc', 'ARC-Challenge')  # hangs for 5/10/15 minutes

### Expected behavior

cache quickly recognized and loaded within a second

### Environment info

Please let me know if I should provide more environment information.

Comments: Even if a dataset is cached, we still make requests to check whether the cache is up-to-date. [This](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.13.1/en/loading#offline) section in the docs explains how to avoid them and directly load the cached version.Thanks - that works! However it doesn't resolve the original issue (but I am not sure if it is a WSL problem)We use `requests` to make HTTP requests (and `aiohttp` in the streaming mode), so I don't think we can provide much help regarding the socket issue (it probably has something to do with WSL).
Title: `map` function doesn't fully utilize `input_columns`.
State: closed

### Describe the bug

I wanted to select only some columns of data.
And I thought that's why the argument `input_columns` exists.
What I expected is like this:
If there are ["a", "b", "c", "d"] columns, and if I set `input_columns=["a", "d"]`, the data will have only ["a", "d"] columns.

But it doesn't select columns.
It preserves existing columns.
The main cause is `update` function of `dictionary` type `transformed_batch`.

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/682d21e94ab1e64c11b583de39dc4c93f0101c5a/src/datasets/iterable_dataset.py#L687-L691

`transformed_batch` gets all the columns by `transformed_batch = dict(batch)`.
Even `function_args` selects `input_columns`, `update` preserves columns other than `input_columns`.
I think it should take a new dictionary with columns in `input_columns` like this:
```
# transformed_batch = dict(batch)
# transformed_batch.update(self.function(*function_args, **self.fn_kwargs)

# This is what I think correct.
transformed_batch = self.function(*function_args, **self.fn_kwargs)
```

Let me know how to use `input_columns`.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Described all above.

### Expected behavior

Described all above.

### Environment info

datasets: 2.12
python: 3.8
Title: Argument type for map function changes when using `input_columns` for `IterableDataset`
State: closed

### Describe the bug

I wrote `tokenize(examples)` function as an argument for `map` function for `IterableDataset`.
It process dictionary type `examples` as a parameter.
It is used in `train_dataset = train_dataset.map(tokenize, batched=True)`
No error is raised.

And then, I found some unnecessary keys and values in `examples` so I added `input_columns` argument to `map` function to select keys and values.
It gives me an error saying
```
TypeError: tokenize() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given.
```

The code below matters.
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/406b2212263c0d33f267e35b917f410ff6b3bc00/src/datasets/iterable_dataset.py#L687

For example, `inputs = {"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}`.
If `self.input_coluns` is `None`,
`inputs` is a dictionary type variable and `function_args` becomes a `list` of a single `dict` variable.
`function_args` becomes `[{"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}]`

Otherwise, lets say `self.input_columns = ["a", "c"]`
`[inputs[col] for col in self.input_columns]` results in `[1, 3]`.
I think it should be `[{"a":1, "c":3}]`.

I want to ask if the resulting format is intended.
Maybe I can modify `tokenize()` to have 2 parameters in this case instead of having 1 dictionary.
But this is confusing to me.
Or it should be fixed as `[{col:inputs[col] for col in self.input_columns}]`

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Run `map` function of `IterableDataset` with `input_columns` argument.

### Expected behavior

`function_args` looks better to have same format.
I think it should be `[{"a":1, "c":3}]`.

### Environment info

dataset version: 2.12
python: 3.8

Comments: Yes, this is intended.

Title: [FR] `map` should reuse unchanged columns from the previous dataset to avoid disk usage

### Feature request

Currently adding a new column with `map` will cause all the data in the dataset to be duplicated and stored/cached on the disk again. It should reuse unchanged columns. 

### Motivation

This allows having datasets with different columns but sharing some basic columns. Currently, these datasets would become too expensive to store and one would need some kind of on-the-fly join; which also doesn't seem implemented.

### Your contribution

_

Comments: You can use the `remove_columns` parameter in `map` to avoid duplicating the columns (and save disk space) and then concatenate the original dataset with the map result:
```python
from datasets import concatenate_datasets
# dummy example
ds_new = ds.map(lambda x: {"new_col": x["col"] + 2}, remove_columns=ds.column_names)
ds_combined = concatenate_datasets([ds, ds_new], axis=1)
```

Doing this automatically is hard to implement efficiently unless we know ahead of time which existing columns will be modified by a `map` transform. We have this info when `input_columns` are specified, so I think this is the only case we can optimize.Hi @mariosasko 👋 I’d like to start working on this issue.
Title: Improve `Dataset`'s string representation
State: open
Labels: name: enhancement
description: New feature or request

Currently, `Dataset.__repr__` outputs a dataset's column names and the number of rows. We could improve it by printing its features and the first few rows.

We should also implement `_repr_html_` to have a rich HTML representation in notebooks/Streamlit.

Comments: I want to take a shot at this if possible Yes, feel free to work on this.

You can check the PyArrow Table `__repr__`  and Polars DataFrame `__repr__`/`_repr_html_` implementations for some pointers/ideas.@mariosasko are there any other similar issues that I could work on? I see this has been already solved.
Title: Dataset.from_generator consistently freezes at ~1000 rows
State: closed

### Describe the bug

Whenever I try to create a dataset which contains images using `Dataset.from_generator`, it freezes around 996 rows. I suppose it has something to do with memory consumption, but there's more memory available. I

Somehow it worked a few times but mostly this makes the datasets library much more cumbersome to work with because generators are the easiest way to turn an existing dataset into a Hugging Face dataset.

I've let it run in the frozen state for way longer than it can possibly take to load the actual dataset.

Let me know if you have ideas how to resolve it!

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
from datasets import Dataset
import numpy as np

def gen():
    for row in range(10000):
        yield {"i": np.random.rand(512, 512, 3)}
        
Dataset.from_generator(gen)
# -> 90% of the time gets stuck around 1000 rows
```

### Expected behavior

Should continue and go through all the examples yielded by the generator, or at least throw an error or somehow communicate what's going on.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.8.0
- Platform: Linux-5.15.0-52-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.29

Comments: By default, we write data to disk (so it can be memory-mapped) every 1000 rows/samples. You can control this with the `writer_batch_size` parameter. Also, when working with fixed-size arrays, the `ArrayXD` feature types yield better performance (e.g., in your case, `features=datasets.Features({"i": datasets.Array3D(shape=(512,512,3), dtype="float32")})` should be faster).

Thanks for the explanation! The Image array was just for demonstration, I use PIL Images in practice. Does that make a difference? What's the best approach for a dataset with PIL Images as rows?It's best to use the `datasets.Image()` feature type for PIL images (to save space) :)
Title: Add KLUE-MRC metrics
State: closed

## Metrics for KLUE-MRC (Korean Language Understanding Evaluation — Machine Reading Comprehension)

Adding metrics for [KLUE-MRC](https://huggingface.co/datasets/klue).
KLUE-MRC is very similar to SQuAD 2.0 but has a slightly different format which is why I added metrics for KLUE-MRC.

Specifically, in the case of [LM Eval Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness), it leverages the scoring script of SQuAD to evaluate SQuAD 2.0 and KorQuAD. But the script isn't suitable for KLUE-MRC because KLUE-MRC is a bit different from SQuAD 2.0. And this is why I added the scoring script for KLUE-MRC.

- [x] All tests passed
- [x] Added a metric card (referred the metric card of SQuAD 2.0)
- [x] Compatibility test with [LM Eval Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness) passed
