Load text file for RoBERTa pre-training.  
 I migrate my question from https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/4009#issuecomment-690039444

I tried to train a Roberta from scratch using transformers. But I got OOM issues with loading a large text file. 
According to the suggestion from @thomwolf , I tried to implement `datasets` to load my text file. This test.txt is a simple sample where each line is a sentence.
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('text', data_files='test.txt',cache_dir="./")
dataset.set_format(type='torch',columns=["text"])
dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=8)
next(iter(dataloader))
```

But dataload cannot yield sample and error is:
```

     46             data = self.dataset[possibly_batched_index]

KeyError: 0
```

`dataset.set_format(type='torch',columns=["text"])` returns a log says:
```
Set __getitem__(key) output type to torch for ['text'] columns (when key is int or slice) and don't output other (un-formatted) columns.
```

I noticed the dataset is `DatasetDict({'train': Dataset(features: {'text': Value(dtype='string', id=None)}, num_rows: 44)})`.
Each sample can be accessed by `dataset["train"]["text"]` instead of `dataset["text"]`. 

Could you please give me any suggestions on how to modify this code to load the text file?

 Hi !

As far as I can tell, there could be several reasons for your processes to have different speeds:
- some parts of your dataset have short passages while some have longer passages, that take more time to be processed
- OR there are other processes running that prevent some of them to run at full speed
- OR the value of `num_proc` is higher than the number of actual processes that you can run in parallel at full speed.

So I'd suggest you to check that you have nothing else running in parallel to your processing job, and also maybe take a look at the slow parts of the datasets.
When doing multiprocessing, the dataset is sharded in `num_proc` contiguous parts that are processed individually in each process. If you want to take a look at the dataset processed in the 12th shard of 16 for example, you can do:

```python
my_shard = dataset.shard(num_shards=16, index=12, contiguous=True)
```

Hope this helps, let me know if you find what is causing this slow down.
