Issue: Fix NonMatchingSplitsSizesError/ExpectedMoreSplits when passing data_dir/data_files in no-code Hub datasets
State: closed
Author: albertvillanova

Fix `NonMatchingSplitsSizesError` or `ExpectedMoreSplits` error for no-code Hub datasets if the user passes:
- `data_dir`
- `data_files`

The proposed solution is to avoid using exported dataset info (from Parquet exports) in these cases.
Additionally, also if the user passes `revision` other than "main" (so that no network requests are made).

This PR fixes a bug introduced by:
- #6714

Fix #6918, fix #6939.

Comments:
The docs for this PR live [here](https://moon-ci-docs.huggingface.co/docs/datasets/pr_6925). All of your documentation changes will be reflected on that endpoint. The docs are available until 30 days after the last update.

Do you think this is worth making a patch release for?

I will add some regression tests before merging.

And I will make a patch release afterwards.

I'm hitting this error now, using Spaces. Here's what an attempt to just get the 'validation' split is doing:

code:

```

  |  
  |  
  | GATED_IMAGENET = os.environ.get("GATED_IMAGENET")
  | api = HfApi(token=GATED_IMAGENET)
  |
  | ds = load_dataset('datacomp/imagenet-1k-random0.0', token=GATED_IMAGENET, data_files={'validation': 'data/val*'}, split='validation', trust_remote_code=True)


```

Hi Meg ! Thanks for reporting, I'll see how I can fix this. In the meantime feel free to pass `verification_mode="no_checks"` to `load_dataset`
