Loading dataset crashes for train.bm25.tsv and train.mined.tsv configurations

#1
by albertvillanova HF staff - opened

The machine crashes when loading "train.bm25.tsv" and "train.mined.tsv" configurations.

Code to reproduce the error:

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("THUIR/T2Ranking", "train.mined.tsv")

To load very large files, you should better iterate over their content lazily.

I would recommend you use csv.DictReader from Python Standard Library: https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#csv.DictReader

  • It is a lazy iterator by default
  • You really don't need any of the pandas features, so better avoiding the overhead of the conversion to and from Pandas DataFrame.

Alternatively, with pandas.read_csv you can pass either iterator or chunksize parameters.

Hi@albertvillanova, thanks for your kindly help.

csv.DictReader
```works for our project!
