Issue: Default config for squad is incorrect
State: open
Author: kiddyboots216

### Describe the bug

If you download Squad, it will download the plain_text version, but the config still specifies "default", so if you set the offline mode the cache will try to look it up according to the config_id which is "default" and this will say;
ValueError: Couldn't find cache for squad for config 'default'
Available configs in the cache: ['plain_text']

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. export HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=0
2. load_dataset("squad")
3. export HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=1
4. load_dataset("squad")

### Expected behavior

We should change the config_name I guess? 

### Environment info

linux, latest version of datasets

Comments:
you can try: pip install datasets==2.16.1
Issue: `write_examples_on_file` and `write_batch` are broken in `ArrowWriter`
State: closed
Author: bryant1410

### Describe the bug

`write_examples_on_file` and `write_batch` are broken in `ArrowWriter` since #6636. The order between the columns and the schema is not preserved anymore. So these functions don't work anymore unless the order happens to align well.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Try to do `write_batch` with anything that has many columns, and it's likely to break.

### Expected behavior

I expect these functions to work, instead of it trying to cast a column to its incorrect type.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.17.0
- Platform: Linux-5.15.0-1040-aws-x86_64-with-glibc2.35
- Python version: 3.10.13
- `huggingface_hub` version: 0.19.4
- PyArrow version: 15.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.2.0
- `fsspec` version: 2023.10.0

I feel that'd be good, but it'd be great to release a hotfix ASAP (a revert is a fast thing to do) so people can continue using this library and then focus on still applying the improvement.

Fixed by #6664
Issue: Import error on Google Colab
State: closed
Author: kithogue

### Describe the bug

Cannot be imported on Google Colab, the import throws the following error:
ValueError: pyarrow.lib.IpcWriteOptions size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 88 from C header, got 72 from PyObject

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. `! pip install -U datasets`
2. `import datasets`

### Expected behavior

Should be possible to use the library

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.17.0
- Platform: Linux-6.1.58+-x86_64-with-glibc2.35
- Python version: 3.10.12
- `huggingface_hub` version: 0.20.3
- PyArrow version: 15.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.5.3
- `fsspec` version: 2023.6.0

Comments:
Hi! This can happen if an incompatible `pyarrow` version (`pyarrow<12.0.0`) has been imported before the `datasets` installation and the Colab session hasn't been restarted afterward. To avoid the error, go to "Runtime -> Restart session" after `!pip install -U datasets` and before `import datasets`, or insert the `import os; os.kill(os.getpid(), 9)` cell between `!pip install -U datasets` and `import datasets` to do the same programmatically.

One possible cause might be the one pointed out by @mariosasko above, and you get the following warning on Colab:
```
WARNING: The following packages were previously imported in this runtime:
  [pyarrow]
You must restart the runtime in order to use newly installed versions.
```

On the other hand, if the old version of `pyarrow` is not previously imported (before the installation of `datasets`), the reported issue here is not reproducible: `datasets` can be installed, imported and used on Colab.

Duplicate of:
- #5923

Google Colab now pre-installs PyArrow 14.0.2, making this issue unlikely to happen. So, I'm unpinning it.
Issue: Release not pushed to conda channel

Author: atulsaurav

### Describe the bug

The github actions step to publish the release 2.17.0 to conda channel has failed due to expired token. Can some one please update the anaconda token rerun the failed action? @albertvillanova ?
 
![image](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/assets/7138162/1b56ad3d-7643-4778-9cce-4bf531717700)


### Steps to reproduce the bug

Please see this actions [link](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/actions/runs/7842473662)

### Expected behavior

The action runs successfully and the latest release is pushed to HuggingFace conda channel

### Environment info

Not applicable.

Comments:
Thanks for reporting, @atulsaurav.

We are investigating the issue. 

I can't fix this issue because I do not appear as a team member of the huggingface datasets project: https://anaconda.org/huggingface/datasets

@lhoestq could you please add `datasets` team members to the corresponding Anaconda project?

Once this done, I could recreate and update the Anaconda token, as mentioned above it seems the current one has expired.

I think @LysandreJik has access ?

FYI it failed for 2.18.0 too: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/actions/runs/8117132330/job/22188677936

We updated the token and I re-ran the conda releases :)
Issue: Error when loading a big local json file
State: open
Author: Riccorl

### Describe the bug

When trying to load big json files from a local directory, `load_dataset` throws the following error

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/miniconda3/envs/conda-env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/builder.py", line 1989, in _prepare_split_single
    writer.write_table(table)
  File "miniconda3/envs/conda-env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/arrow_writer.py", line 573, in write_table

  File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 91, in pyarrow.lib.check_status
pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: offset overflow while concatenating arrays
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Download a big file, e.g. `https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/dpr/data/retriever/biencoder-nq-train.json.gz`
2. Load it like `data = load_dataset("json", data_files=["nq-train.json"], split="train")`

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

data = load_dataset("json", data_files=["nq-train.json"], split="train")
```

A similarly formatted but smaller file, e.g. e.g. `https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/dpr/data/retriever/biencoder-nq-dev.json.gz` is loaded without issues

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

data = load_dataset("json", data_files=["nq-dev.json"], split="train")
```

### Expected behavior

It should load normally

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.16.1
- Platform: Linux-5.18.10-76051810-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
- Python version: 3.10.13

- PyArrow version: 15.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.2.0
- `fsspec` version: 2023.10.0

Comments:
I get similar when dealing with a large jsonl file (6k lines), 

> TypeError: Couldn't cast array of type timestamp[us] to null

Yet when I split it into 1k lines, files, load_dataset works fine!

Issue: Slice splits support for datasets.load_from_disk
State: open
Author: mhorlacher

### Feature request

Support for slice splits in `datasets.load_from_disk`, similar to how it's already supported for `datasets.load_dataset`.

### Motivation

Slice splits are convienient in a numer of cases - adding support to `datasets.load_from_disk` would make working with local datasets easier and homogenize the APIs of load_from_disk and load_dataset. 

### Your contribution

Sure, if the devs think the feature request is sensible.

Support fsspec 2023.12 by handling previous and new glob behavior.

Comments:
The pinned fsspec version range dependency conflict has been affecting several of our users in https://github.com/iterative/dvc. I've opened an initial PR that I think should resolve the glob behavior changes with using datasets + the latest fsspec release.

Please let us know if there's any other fsspec related behavior in datasets that needs to be updated to get 2024.2 supported, we'd like to get this conflict resolved as quickly as possible and we're willing to contribute any additional work that's required here.

Issue: Differently dataset object saved than it is loaded.
State: closed
Author: MFajcik

### Describe the bug

Differently sized object is saved than it is loaded.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Hi, I save dataset in a following way:
```
        dataset = load_dataset("json",
                               data_files={
                                   "train": os.path.join(input_folder, f"{task_meta_type}_{task_type}_train.jsonl"),
                                   "test": os.path.join(input_folder, f"{task_meta_type}_{task_type}_test.jsonl")})
        print(os.path.join(output_folder, f"{task_meta_type}_{task_type}"))
        print(f"Length of train dataset: {len(dataset['train'])}")
        print(f"Length of test dataset: {len(dataset['test'])}")
        dataset.save_to_disk(os.path.join(output_folder, f"{task_meta_type}_{task_type}"))
```

this yields output
```
.data/hf_dataset/propaganda_zanr
Length of train dataset: 7642
Length of test dataset: 1000
```

Everything looks fine.

Then I load the dataset
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset_path = ".data/hf_dataset/propaganda_zanr"
dataset = load_dataset(dataset_path)

print(f"Length of train dataset: {len(dataset['train'])}")
print(f"Length of test dataset: {len(dataset['test'])}")

```

this prints
```
Generating train split: 1 examples [00:00, 72.10 examples/s]
Generating test split: 1 examples [00:00, 100.69 examples/s]
Length of train dataset: 1
Length of test dataset: 1
```

I dont' understand :(


### Expected behavior

same object is loaded

### Environment info

datasets==2.16.1

Comments:
I see now, that I have to use `load_from_disk`, in order to load dataset properly, not `load_dataset`. Why is this behavior split? Why do we need both, `load_dataset` and `load_from_disk`?

Unless answered, I believe this might be helpful for other hf datasets newbies.

Anyway, made a `load_dataset` compatible dataset in a following way. I created a directory, and just copied jsonl there as `train.jsonl/test.jsonl`.
```python
output_folder = os.path.join(args.output_folder, f"{task_meta_type}_{task_type}")
os.makedirs(output_folder, exist_ok=True)
file = f"{task_meta_type}_{task_type}_train.jsonl"
shutil.copy(os.path.join(input_folder, file),
            os.path.join(output_folder, "train.jsonl"))
# now test
file = f"{task_meta_type}_{task_type}_test.jsonl"
shutil.copy(os.path.join(input_folder, file),
            os.path.join(output_folder, "test.jsonl"))
```

Issue: Sign Language Support
State: open
Author: Merterm

### Feature request

Currently, there are only several Sign Language labels, I would like to propose adding all the Signed Languages as new labels which are described in this ISO standard: https://www.evertype.com/standards/iso639/sign-language.html

### Motivation

Datasets currently only have labels for several signed languages. There are more signed languages in the world. Furthermore, some signed languages that have a lot of online data cannot be found because of this reason (for instance, German Sign Language, and there is no German Sign Language label on huggingface datasets even though there are a lot of readily available sign language datasets exist for German Sign Language, which are used very frequently in Sign Language Processing papers, and models.)

### Your contribution

I can submit a PR for this as well, adding the ISO codes and languages to the labels in datasets.

Issue: 'with_format' is extremely slow when used together with 'interleave_datasets' or 'shuffle' on IterableDatasets
State: open
Author: tobycrisford

### Describe the bug

If you:

1. Interleave two iterable datasets together with the interleave_datasets function, or shuffle an iterable dataset
2. Set the output format to torch tensors with .with_format('torch')

Then iterating through the dataset becomes over 100x slower than it is if you don't apply the torch formatting.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
import datasets
import torch
from tqdm import tqdm

rand_a = torch.randn(3,224,224)
rand_b = torch.randn(3,224,224)

a = torch.stack([rand_a] * 1000)
b = torch.stack([rand_b] * 1000)

features = datasets.Features({"tensor": datasets.Array3D(shape=(3,224,224), dtype="float32")})
ds_a = datasets.Dataset.from_dict({"tensor": a}, features=features).to_iterable_dataset()
ds_b = datasets.Dataset.from_dict({"tensor": b}, features=features).to_iterable_dataset()

# Iterating through either dataset with torch formatting is really fast (2000it/s on my machine)
for example in tqdm(ds_a.with_format('torch')):
    pass

# Iterating through either dataset shuffled is also pretty fast (100it/s on my machine)
for example in tqdm(ds_a.shuffle()):
    pass

# Iterating through this interleaved dataset is pretty fast (200it/s on my machine)
ds_fast = datasets.interleave_datasets([ds_a, ds_b])
for example in tqdm(ds_fast):
    pass

# Iterating through either dataset with torch formatting *after shuffling* is really slow... (<2it/s on my machine)
for example in tqdm(ds_a.shuffle().with_format('torch')):
    pass

# Iterating through this torch formatted interleaved dataset is also really slow (<2it/s on my machine)...
ds_slow = datasets.interleave_datasets([ds_a, ds_b]).with_format('torch')
for example in tqdm(ds_slow):
    pass

# Even doing this is way faster!! (70it/s on my machine)
for example in tqdm(ds_fast):
    test = torch.tensor(example['tensor'])

```

### Expected behavior

Applying torch formatting to the interleaved dataset shouldn't increase the time taken to iterate through the dataset by very much, since even explicitly converting every example is over 70x faster than calling .with_format('torch').

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.16.1
- Platform: Linux-6.5.0-15-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.38
- Python version: 3.11.6
- `huggingface_hub` version: 0.20.3
- PyArrow version: 15.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.2.0
- `fsspec` version: 2023.10.0


Comments:
The "torch" formatting is usually fast because we do zero-copy conversion from the Arrow data on your disk to Torch tensors. However IterableDataset shuffling seems to do data copies that slow down the pipeline, and it shuffles python objects instead of Arrow data.

To fix this we need to implement `BufferShuffledExamplesIterable.iter_arrow()` (same as regular `BufferShuffledExamplesIterable.__iter__()` but yields Arrow tables)

Issue: wiki_dpr.py error (ID mismatch between lines {id} and vector {vec_id}
State: closed
Author: kiehls90

### Describe the bug

I'm trying to run a rag example, and the dataset is wiki_dpr.
wiki_dpr download and extracting have been completed successfully.
However, at the generating train split stage, an error from wiki_dpr.py keeps popping up.

Especially in "_generate_examples" :
1. The following error occurs in the line **id, text, title = line.strip().split("\t")**
ValueError: not enough values ​​to unpack (expected 3, got 2)
-> This part handles exceptions so that even if an error occurs, it passes.

2. **ID mismatch between lines {id} and vector {vec_id}**
This error seems to occur at the line " assert int(id) == int(vec_id),".
After I handled the exception in the split error, generating train split progressed to 80%, but an id mismatch error occurred at about the 16200000th vector id.

Debugging is even more difficult because it takes a long time to download and split wiki_dpr. I need help. thank you in advance!!

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Occurs in the generating train split step when running the rag example in the transformers repository.
Specifically, it is an error in wiki_dpr.py.

### Expected behavior

.

### Environment info

python 3.8

Comments:
Thanks for reporting, @kiehls90.

Issue: `datasets/downloads` cleanup tool
State: open
Author: stas00

### Feature request

Splitting off https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/issues/1997 - currently `huggingface-cli delete-cache` doesn't take care of cleaning `datasets` temp files

e.g. I discovered having millions of files under `datasets/downloads` cache, I had to do:

```
sudo find /data/huggingface/datasets/downloads -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \+
sudo find /data/huggingface/datasets/downloads -type d -empty -delete
```
 
could the cleanup be integrated into `huggingface-cli` or a different tool provided to keep the folders tidy and not consume inodes and space 

e.g. there were tens of thousands of `.lock` files - I don't know why they never get removed - lock files should be temporary for the duration of the operation requiring the lock and not remain after the operation finished, IMHO.

Also I think one should be able to nuke `datasets/downloads` w/o hurting the cache, but I think there are some datasets that rely on files extracted under this dir - or at least they did in the past - which is very difficult to manage since one has no idea what is safe to delete and what not.

Thank you

Issue: cnn_dailymail repeats itself
State: closed
Author: KeremZaman

### Describe the bug

When I try to load `cnn_dailymail` dataset, it takes longer than usual and when I checked the dataset it's 3x bigger than it's supposed to be.

Check https://huggingface.co/datasets/cnn_dailymail: it says 287k rows for train. But when I check length of train split it says 861339.

Also I checked data:

```
>>> ds['train']['highlights'][0]                                           
"Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe gets £20M fortune as he turns 18 Monday . Young actor says he has no plans to fritter his cash away . Radcliffe's earnings from first five Potter films have been held in trust fund ."````

>>> ds['train']['highlights'][0]                                           
"Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe gets £20M fortune as he turns 18 Monday . Young actor says he has no plans to fritter his cash away . Radcliffe's earnings from first five Potter films have been held in trust fund ."````

>>> ds['train']['highlights'][287113]
"Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe gets £20M fortune as he turns 18 Monday .\nYoung actor says he has no plans to fritter his cash away .\nRadcliffe's earnings from first five Potter films have been held in trust fund ."````

"Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe gets £20M fortune as he turns 18 Monday .\nYoung actor says he has no plans to fritter his cash away .\nRadcliffe's earnings from first five Potter films have been held in trust fund ."
```

The datasets seems to be updated 6 days ago to convert it to Parquet. Probably, there is some issue with backward compatability.



### Steps to reproduce the bug

1.
```
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset('cnn_dailymail', '3.0.0')
len(ds['train'])
```

### Expected behavior

It should not repeat itself.

### Environment info

datasets==2.13.2
Python==3.7.13

Comments:
Hi ! We recently updated `cnn_dailymail` and now `datasets>=2.14` is needed to load it.

You can update `datasets` with

```
pip install -U datasets
```
