Load large text file for LM pre-training resulting in OOM 
 I tried to pretrain Longformer using transformers and datasets. But I got OOM issues with loading a large text file. My script is almost like this:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

@dataclass
class DataCollatorForDatasetsLanguageModeling(DataCollatorForLanguageModeling):
    """
    Data collator used for language modeling based on DataCollatorForLazyLanguageModeling
    - collates batches of tensors, honoring their tokenizer's pad_token
    - preprocesses batches for masked language modeling
    """

    block_size: int = 512

    def __call__(self, examples: List[dict]) -> Dict[str, torch.Tensor]:
        examples = [example['text'] for example in examples]
        batch, attention_mask = self._tensorize_batch(examples)
        if self.mlm:
            inputs, labels = self.mask_tokens(batch)
            return {"input_ids": inputs, "labels": labels}
        else:
            labels = batch.clone().detach()
            if self.tokenizer.pad_token_id is not None:
                labels[labels == self.tokenizer.pad_token_id] = -100
            return {"input_ids": batch, "labels": labels}

    def _tensorize_batch(self, examples: List[str]) -> Tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor]:

        if self.tokenizer._pad_token is None:
            raise ValueError(
                "You are attempting to pad samples but the tokenizer you are using"
                f" ({self.tokenizer.__class__.__name__}) does not have one."
            )

        tensor_examples = self.tokenizer.batch_encode_plus(
            [ex for ex in examples if ex],
            max_length=self.block_size,
            return_tensors="pt",
            pad_to_max_length=True,
            return_attention_mask=True,
            truncation=True,
        )

        input_ids, attention_mask = tensor_examples["input_ids"], tensor_examples["attention_mask"]
        return input_ids, attention_mask

dataset = load_dataset('text', data_files='train.txt',cache_dir="./", , split='train')
data_collator = DataCollatorForDatasetsLanguageModeling(tokenizer=tokenizer, mlm=True, 
                      mlm_probability=0.15, block_size=tokenizer.max_len)
trainer = Trainer(model=model, args=args, data_collator=data_collator,
                      train_dataset=train_dataset, prediction_loss_only=True, )
trainer.train(model_path=model_path)
```
This train.txt is about 1.1GB and has 90k lines where each line is a sequence of 4k words. 
During training, the memory usage increased fast as the following graph and resulted in OOM before the finish of training.

Could you please give me any suggestions on why this happened and how to fix it?
Thanks.  
 Thanks for the investigation @gaceladri 

Apparently this happens when `num_workers>0` and has to do with objects being copied-on-write.
Did you try setting num_workers to 0 @gaceladri ?
If the issue doesn't happen with `num_workers=0` then this would confirm that it's indeed related to this python/pytorch issue.

Since a `Dataset` object is a wrapper of a pyarrow Table, we should investigate if the data being copied comes from the Table itself or from metadata in the `Dataset` object. If it comes from the metadata in the `Dataset` object, we should be able to implement a workaround. But if it comes from the Table, we'll need to see with the pyarrow team what we can do...
