DatasetGenerationError: An error occurred while generating the dataset
```

Comments: The error is caused by malformed basenames of the files within the TARs:
- `15_Cohen_1-s2.0-S0929664620300449-gr3_lrg-b.png` becomes `15_Cohen_1-s2` as the grouping `__key__`, and `0-S0929664620300449-gr3_lrg-b.png` as the additional key to be added to the example
- whereas the intended behavior was to use `15_Cohen_1-s2.0-S0929664620300449-gr3_lrg-b` as the grouping `__key__`, and `png` as the additional key to be added to the example

To get the expected behavior, the basenames of the files within the TARs should be fixed so that they only contain a single dot, the one separating the file extension.I reopen it because I think we should try to give a clearer error message with a specific error code.

For now, it's hard for the user to understand where the error comes from (not everybody knows the subtleties of the webdataset filename structure).

(we can transfer it to https://github.com/huggingface/dataset-viewer if it fits better there)same with .jpg -> https://huggingface.co/datasets/ProGamerGov/synthetic-dataset-1m-dalle3-high-quality-captions

More details in the spec (https://docs.google.com/document/d/18OdLjruFNX74ILmgrdiCI9J1fQZuhzzRBCHV9URWto0/edit#heading=h.hkptaq2kct2s)

> The prefix of a file is all directory components of the file plus the file name component up to the first “.” in the file name.
> The last extension (i.e., the portion after the last “.”) in a file name determines the file type.

> Example:
	images17/image194.left.jpg
	images17/image194.right.jpg
	images17/image194.json
	images17/image12.left.jpg
	images17/image12.json
	images17/image12.right.jpg
	images3/image1459.left.jpg
> 	…
> When reading this with a WebDataset library, you would get the following two dictionaries back in sequence:

        { “__key__”: “images17/image194”, “left.jpg”: b”...”, “right.jpg”: b”...”, “json”: b”...”}
        { “__key__”: “images17/image12”, “left.jpg”: b”...”, “right.jpg”: b”...”, “json”: b”...”}
OK, the issue is different in the latter case: some files are suffixed as `.jpeg`, and others as `.jpg` :)

Is it a limitation of the webdataset format, or of the datasets library @lhoestq? And could we be able to give a clearer error?
