Wrong example of usage when config name is missing for community script-datasets
State: closed | Author: albertvillanova (MEMBER)
Labels: name: bug

As reported by @Wauplin, when loading a community dataset with script, there is a bug in the example of usage of the error message if the dataset has multiple configs (and no default config) and the user does not pass any config. For example:
```python
>>> ds = load_dataset("google/fleurs")
ValueError: Config name is missing.
Please pick one among the available configs: ['af_za', 'am_et', 'ar_eg', 'as_in', 'ast_es', 'az_az', 'be_by', 'bg_bg', 'bn_in', 'bs_ba', 'ca_es', 'ceb_ph', 'ckb_iq', 'cmn_hans_cn', 'cs_cz', 'cy_gb', 'da_dk', 'de_de', 'el_gr', 'en_us', 'es_419', 'et_ee', 'fa_ir', 'ff_sn', 'fi_fi', 'fil_ph', 'fr_fr', 'ga_ie', 'gl_es', 'gu_in', 'ha_ng', 'he_il', 'hi_in', 'hr_hr', 'hu_hu', 'hy_am', 'id_id', 'ig_ng', 'is_is', 'it_it', 'ja_jp', 'jv_id', 'ka_ge', 'kam_ke', 'kea_cv', 'kk_kz', 'km_kh', 'kn_in', 'ko_kr', 'ky_kg', 'lb_lu', 'lg_ug', 'ln_cd', 'lo_la', 'lt_lt', 'luo_ke', 'lv_lv', 'mi_nz', 'mk_mk', 'ml_in', 'mn_mn', 'mr_in', 'ms_my', 'mt_mt', 'my_mm', 'nb_no', 'ne_np', 'nl_nl', 'nso_za', 'ny_mw', 'oc_fr', 'om_et', 'or_in', 'pa_in', 'pl_pl', 'ps_af', 'pt_br', 'ro_ro', 'ru_ru', 'sd_in', 'sk_sk', 'sl_si', 'sn_zw', 'so_so', 'sr_rs', 'sv_se', 'sw_ke', 'ta_in', 'te_in', 'tg_tj', 'th_th', 'tr_tr', 'uk_ua', 'umb_ao', 'ur_pk', 'uz_uz', 'vi_vn', 'wo_sn', 'xh_za', 'yo_ng', 'yue_hant_hk', 'zu_za', 'all']
Example of usage:
	`load_dataset('fleurs', 'af_za')`
```

Note the example of usage in the error message suggests loading "fleurs" instead of "google/fleurs".
Support soft links for load_datasets imagefolder
State: open | Author: billytcl (NONE)
Labels: name: enhancement

### Feature request

Load_dataset from a folder of images doesn't seem to support soft links. It would be nice if it did, especially during methods development where image folders are being curated.

### Motivation

Images are coming from a complex variety of sources and we'd like to be able to soft link directly from the originating folders as opposed to copying. Having a copy of the file ensures that there may be issues with image versioning as well as having double the amount of required disk space.

### Your contribution

Write token isn't working while pushing to datasets
State: closed | Author: realzai (NONE)

### Describe the bug

<img width="1001" alt="Screenshot 2024-05-01 at 3 37 06 AM" src="https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/assets/130903099/00fcf12c-fcc1-4749-8592-d263d4efcbcc">

As you can see I logged in to my account and the write token is valid.

But I can't upload on my main account and I am getting that error. It was okay on my test account at first try.

(I refreshed the token, tried a new token but still doesn't work)

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. I loaded a dataset.

2. I logged in using both cli and huggingface_hub

3. I pushed to my down dataset
(It went well without any issues on my test account)

### Expected behavior

It should have gone smoothly and this is not even my first time uploading to huggingface datasets

### Environment info

colab, dataset (tried multiple versions)
Problem loading voxpopuli dataset 
State: closed | Author: Namangarg110 (NONE)

### Describe the bug

```
Exception has occurred: FileNotFoundError
Couldn't find file at https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/voxpopuli/resolve/main/{'en': 'data/en/asr_train.tsv'}
```

Error in logic for link url creation. The link should be  https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/voxpopuli/resolve/main/data/en/asr_train.tsv 

Basically there should be links directly under ```metadata["train"]```, not under ```metadata["train"][self.config.languages[0]]```

same for audio urls

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("facebook/voxpopuli","en")
```

### Expected behavior

Dataset should be loaded successfully.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.19.0
- Platform: Linux-5.15.0-1041-aws-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
- Python version: 3.10.13
- `huggingface_hub` version: 0.22.2
- PyArrow version: 16.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.2.0
- `fsspec` version: 2023.12.2

Comments: Version 2.18 works without problem.

@Namangarg110  @mohsen-goodarzi The bug appears because the number of urls is less than 16 and the algorithm is meant to work on the previously created mode for a single url as stated on line 314: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/1bf8a46cc7b096d5c547ea3794f6a4b6c31ea762/src/datasets/download/download_manager.py#L314

In addition, previously `map_nested` function was supported without batching and it is meant to be the default performance. 

One of the shortest walk-arounds would be changing the part of the manager with the current setting:
```
        if len(url_or_urls) >= 16:
            download_func = partial(self._download_batched, download_config=download_config)
        else:
            download_func = partial(self._download_single, download_config=download_config)

        start_time = datetime.now()
        with stack_multiprocessing_download_progress_bars():
            downloaded_path_or_paths = map_nested(
                download_func,
                url_or_urls,
                map_tuple=True,
                num_proc=download_config.num_proc,
                desc="Downloading data files",
                batched=True if len(url_or_urls) >= 16 else False,
                batch_size=-1,
            )
```

I would suggest to consider other datasets for similar issues and make a pull-request. 

Thanks for reporting @Namangarg110 and thanks for the investigation @MilanaShhanukova.

Apparently, there is an issue with the download functionality.
I am proposing a fix.

[Streaming] Only load requested splits without resolving files for the other splits
State: open | Author: lhoestq (MEMBER)

e.g. [thangvip](https://huggingface.co/thangvip)/[cosmopedia_vi_math](https://huggingface.co/datasets/thangvip/cosmopedia_vi_math) has 300 splits and it takes a very long time to load only one split.

This is due to `load_dataset()` resolving the files of all the splits even if only one is needed.

In `dataset-viewer` the splits are loaded in different jobs so it results in 300 jobs that resolve 300 splits -> 90k calls to `/paths-info`

Comments: This should help fixing this issue: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6832

I'm having a similar issue when using splices:
<img width="947" alt="image" src="https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/assets/28941213/2153faac-e1fe-4b6d-a79b-30b2699407e8">

It seems to be downloading, loading, and generating splits using the entire dataset.
Unimaginable super slow iteration
State: closed | Author: rangehow (NONE)

### Describe the bug

Assuming there is a dataset with 52000 sentences, each with a length of 500, it takes 20 seconds to extract a sentence from the dataset……？Is there something wrong with my iteration?

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
import datasets
import time
import random

num_rows = 52000
num_cols = 500

random_input = [[random.randint(1, 100) for _ in range(num_cols)] for _ in range(num_rows)]
random_output = [[random.randint(1, 100) for _ in range(num_cols)] for _ in range(num_rows)]


s=time.time()
d={'random_input':random_input,'random_output':random_output}
dataset=datasets.Dataset.from_dict(d)
print('from dict',time.time()-s)
print(dataset)


for i in range(len(dataset)):
    aa=time.time()
    a,b=dataset['random_input'][i],dataset['random_output'][i]
    print(time.time()-aa)

```

corresponding output
```bash
from dict 9.215498685836792
Dataset({
    features: ['random_input', 'random_output'],
    num_rows: 52000
})

19.291821718215942
19.357765197753906

```

### Expected behavior

Under normal circumstances, iteration should be very rapid as it does not involve the main tasks other than getting items

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.19.0
- Platform: Linux-3.10.0-1160.71.1.el7.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.17

- PyArrow version: 15.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.2.1
- `fsspec` version: 2024.2.0

Comments: In every iteration you load the full "random_input" column in memory, only then to access it's i-th element.

You can try using this instead

a,b=dataset[i]['random_input'],dataset[i]['random_output']

Datasets with files with colon : in filenames cannot be used on Windows
State: open | Author: jacobjennings (NONE)

### Describe the bug

Datasets (such as https://huggingface.co/datasets/MLCommons/peoples_speech) cannot be used on Windows due to the fact that windows does not allow colons ":" in filenames. These should be converted into alternative strings.



### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Attempt to run load_dataset on MLCommons/peoples_speech

### Expected behavior

Does not crash during extraction

### Environment info

Windows 11, NTFS filesystem, Python 3.12

ExpectedMoreSplits error on load_dataset when upgrading to 2.19.0
State: open | Author: ebsmothers (NONE)

### Describe the bug

Hi there, thanks for the great library! We have been using it a lot in torchtune and it's been a huge help for us. 

Regarding the bug: the same call to `load_dataset` errors with `ExpectedMoreSplits` in 2.19.0 after working fine in 2.18.0. Full details given in the repro below.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

On 2.18.0, things work fine:
```
# First clear the locally cached dataset
rm -r ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets/lvwerra___stack-exchange-paired
pip install "datasets==2.18.0"
python3
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> dataset = load_dataset('lvwerra/stack-exchange-paired', split='train', data_dir='data/rl')
```

On 2.19.0, they do not:
```
# First clear the locally cached dataset
rm -r ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets/lvwerra___stack-exchange-paired
pip install "datasets==2.19.0"
python3
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> dataset = load_dataset('lvwerra/stack-exchange-paired', split='train', data_dir='data/rl')
```

The stack trace I see from the 2.19.0 version of load_dataset can be seen [here](https://gist.github.com/ebsmothers/f9b1f1949bee7030a8d7bb8a491550d2).

(Maybe unsurprising but) notably if I do not delete the cache first I am able to load the dataset successfully. So based on this I suspect the cause is somewhere in the download logic.

### Expected behavior

Download the dataset successfully :)

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.19.0
- Platform: Linux-5.12.0-0_fbk16_zion_7661_geb00762ce6d2-x86_64-with-glibc2.34
- Python version: 3.11.9

Support pyarrow LargeListType

Fixes #6834

Fixed the conversion from `pyarrow` to `python` `Sequence` features. 

There is still an issue that if `features` are passed the `Sequence` always forces conversion to `ListArray`.
This probably causes issues if the `LargeListArray` is actually needed.

There doesn't seem to be a great solution since this list is created solely on the `schema` for `Sequence`.
One solution would be to always use `LargeListArray` instead.


I am retaking this PR because we would like to have this feature implemented.
largelisttype not supported (.from_polars())
State: closed | Author: Modexus (CONTRIBUTOR)

### Describe the bug

The following code fails because LargeListType is not supported.
This is especially a problem for .from_polars since polars uses LargeListType.


### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
import datasets
import polars as pl

df = pl.DataFrame({"list": [[]]})
datasets.Dataset.from_polars(df)
```

### Expected behavior

Convert LargeListType to list.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.19.1.dev0
- Platform: Linux-6.8.7-200.fc39.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.38
- Python version: 3.12.2

Support downloading specific splits in `load_dataset`
State: open | Author: mariosasko (COLLABORATOR)

This PR builds on https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6639 to support downloading only the specified splits in `load_dataset`. For this to work, a builder's `_split_generators` need to be able to accept the requested splits (as a list) via a `splits` argument to avoid processing the non-requested ones. Also, the builder has to define a `_available_splits` method that lists all the possible `splits` values.

Close https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/4101, close https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/2538 (I'm probably missing some)

Friendly ping on this! This feature would be really helpful and useful to me (and likely others with limited download speed and storage space!). Thanks so much!

No one is working on this atm afaik :/

No worries! I've patched the ImageNet dataset in: <https://huggingface.co/datasets/ILSVRC/imagenet-1k/blob/refs%2Fpr%2F20/imagenet-1k.py> 

Together with:

```python
dataset = load_dataset(
        "ILSVRC/imagenet-1k",
        split="validation",
        data_files={"val": "data/val_images.tar.gz"},
        revision="refs/pr/20",
        trust_remote_code=True,
        download_config=DownloadConfig(resume_download=True),
        verification_mode=VerificationMode.NO_CHECKS,
    )
```

It only downloads the validation set this way (NO_CHECKS is a bit annoying because I'd rather have md5 checks, but I guess I can't have everything) ^^' The patch is not perfect, but it does the job.

There is an issue with the example snippet when copy/pasting it: the leading shell dollar sign is also copied. I guess they will not like to fix it in the backend: currently they only support Python code snippets (with leading `>>>` or `...`), as they appear in the IPython interactive console.

Loading a remote dataset fails in the last release (v2.19.0)
State: open | Author: zrthxn (NONE)

While loading a dataset with multiple splits I get an error saying `Couldn't find file at <URL>`

I am loading the dataset like so, nothing out of the ordinary.
This dataset needs a token to access it.
```
token="hf_myhftoken-sdhbdsjgkhbd"
load_dataset("speechcolab/gigaspeech", "test", cache_dir=f"gigaspeech/test", token=token)
```

I get the following error
![Screenshot 2024-04-19 at 11 03 07 PM](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/assets/35369637/8dce757f-08ff-45dd-85b5-890fced7c5bc)

Now you can see that the URL that it is trying to reach has the JSON object of the dataset split appended to the base URL. I think this may be due to a newly introduced issue.

I did not have this issue with the previous version of the datasets. Everything was fine for me yesterday and after the release 12 hours ago, this seems to have broken. Also, the dataset in question runs custom code and I checked and there have been no commits to the dataset on Huggingface in 6 months.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Since this happened with one particular dataset for me, I am listing steps to use that dataset.
1. Open https://huggingface.co/datasets/speechcolab/gigaspeech and fill the form to get access.
2. Create a token on your huggingface account with read access.
3. Run the following line, substituing `<your_token_here>` with your token.
```
load_dataset("speechcolab/gigaspeech", "test", cache_dir=f"gigaspeech/test", token="<your_token_here>")
```

### Expected behavior

Be able to load the dataset in question.

### Environment info

datasets == 2.19.0
python == 3.10
kernel == Linux 6.1.58+
Give more details in `DataFilesNotFoundError` when getting the config names

### Feature request

After https://huggingface.co/datasets/cis-lmu/Glot500/commit/39060e01272ff228cc0ce1d31ae53789cacae8c3, the dataset viewer gives the following error:

```
{
  "error": "Cannot get the config names for the dataset.",
  "cause_exception": "DataFilesNotFoundError",
  "cause_message": "No (supported) data files found in cis-lmu/Glot500",

    "datasets.exceptions.DataFilesNotFoundError: No (supported) data files found in cis-lmu/Glot500\n"
  ]
}
```

because the deleted files were still listed in the README, see https://huggingface.co/datasets/cis-lmu/Glot500/discussions/4

Ideally, the error message would include the name of the first configuration with missing files, to help the user understand how to fix it. Here, it would tell that configuration `aze_Ethi` has no supported data files, instead of telling that the `cis-lmu/Glot500` *dataset* has no supported data files (which is not true).

### Motivation

Giving more detail in the error would help the Datasets Hub users to debug why the dataset viewer does not work.

### Your contribution

Not sure how to best fix this, as there are a lot of loops on the dataset configs in the traceback methods. "maybe" it would be easier to handle if the code was completely isolating each config.
Improve typing of Dataset.search, matching definition
State: closed | Author: Dref360 (CONTRIBUTOR)

Previously, the output of `score, indices = Dataset.search(...)` would be numpy arrays.

The definition in `SearchResult` is a `List[int]` so this PR now matched the expected type.

The previous behavior is a bit annoying as `Dataset.__getitem__` doesn't support `numpy.int64` which forced me to convert `indices` to int eg:

```python
score, indices = ds.search(...)
item = ds[int(indices[0])]
```

Hi! This is a breaking change. A better solution is to check for "indexable" types in `__getitem__` to support keys such as `np.int64`:
```python
import operator

def _query_table_with_indices_mapping(...):  # or _query_table
