Unable to Use Custom Dataset Locally
Author: zanussbaum
State: closed
Labels: name: bug

## Describe the bug
I have uploaded a [dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/zpn/pubchem_selfies) and followed the instructions from the [dataset_loader](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/dataset_script#download-data-files-and-organize-splits) tutorial. In that tutorial, it says 
```
If the data files live in the same folder or repository of the dataset script, 
you can just pass the relative paths to the files instead of URLs.
```
Accordingly, I put the [relative path](https://huggingface.co/datasets/zpn/pubchem_selfies/blob/main/pubchem_selfies.py#L76) to the data to be used. I was able to test the dataset and generate the metadata locally with `datasets-cli test path/to/<your-dataset-loading-script> --save_infos --all_configs`

However, if I try to load the data using `load_dataset`, I get the following error
```
with gzip.open(filepath, mode="rt") as f:
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.7_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/gzip.py", line 58, in open
    binary_file = GzipFile(filename, gz_mode, compresslevel)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.7_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/gzip.py", line 173, in __init__
    fileobj = self.myfileobj = builtins.open(filename, mode or 'rb')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/zpn/pubchem_selfies/resolve/main/data/Compound_021000001_021500000/Compound_021000001_021500000_SELFIES.jsonl.gz'
```


## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> dataset = load_dataset("zpn/pubchem_selfies", streaming=True)
>>> t = dataset["train"]
>>> for item in t:
......     print(item)
......     break

Comments: Hi ! I opened a PR in your repo to fix this :)
https://huggingface.co/datasets/zpn/pubchem_selfies/discussions/7

basically you need to use `open` for streaming to work properly

Thank you so much for this! Naive question, is this a feature of `open` or have you all overloaded it to be able to read from a URL? Any links to code/documentation would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to learn more

`datasets` extends `open` in dataset scripts to work with URLs. The builtin `open` from python only works with local files.

You can find the extension here: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/6ad430ba0cdeeb601170f732d4bd977f5c04594d/src/datasets/download/streaming_download_manager.py#L435-L451

I think we can create a docs section dedicated to streaming to explain how this works

Closing this one - feel free to reopen if you have more questions
