ClassLabel Error 
State: closed | Author: mrcaelumn (NONE)

### Describe the bug

I still getting the error "call() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given" even after ensuring that the value being passed to the label object is a single value and that the ClassLabel object has been created with the correct number of label classes

### Steps to reproduce the bug

from datasets import ClassLabel, Dataset

1. Create the ClassLabel object with 3 label values and their corresponding names
label_test = ClassLabel(num_classes=3, names=["label_1", "label_2", "label_3"])

2. Define a dictionary with text and label fields
data = {
    'text': ['text_1', 'text_2', 'text_3'],
    'label': [1, 2, 3],
}

3. Create a Hugging Face dataset from the dictionary
dataset = Dataset.from_dict(data)
print(dataset.features)
4. Map the label values to their corresponding label names using the label object
dataset = dataset.map(lambda example: {'text': example['text'], 'label': label_test(example['label'])})

5. Print the resulting dataset
print(dataset)

### Expected behavior

I hope my label type is class label instead int. 

### Environment info

python 3.9
google colab

Comments: Hi, you can use the `cast_column` function to change the feature type from a `Value(int64)` to `ClassLabel`:

```py
dataset = dataset.cast_column("label", ClassLabel(names=["label_1", "label_2", "label_3"]))
print(dataset.features)
{'text': Value(dtype='string', id=None),
 'label': ClassLabel(names=['label_1', 'label_2', 'label_3'], id=None)}
```

thank you @stevhliu, its worked.
FORCE_REDOWNLOAD raises "Directory not empty" exception on second run
State: open | Author: rcasero (NONE)

### Describe the bug

Running `load_dataset(..., download_mode=datasets.DownloadMode.FORCE_REDOWNLOAD)` twice raises a `Directory not empty` exception on the second run.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

I cannot test this on datasets v2.11.0 due to #5711, but this happens in v2.10.1.

1. Set up a script `my_dataset.py` to generate and load an offline dataset.
2. Load it with 
    ```python
            ds = datasets.load_dataset(path=/path/to/my_dataset.py,
                                       name='toy',
                                       data_dir=/path/to/my_dataset.py,
                                       cache_dir=cache_dir,
                                       download_mode=datasets.DownloadMode.FORCE_REDOWNLOAD,
                                       )
    ```
    It loads fine
    ```
    Dataset my_dataset downloaded and prepared to /path/to/cache/toy-..e05e/1.0.0/...5b4c. Subsequent calls will reuse this data.
    ```
3. Try to load it again with the same snippet and the splits are generated, but at the end of the loading process it raises the error
    ```

    ```


### Expected behavior

Regenerate the dataset from scratch and reload it.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.10.1
- Platform: Linux-4.18.0-483.el8.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.28
- Python version: 3.10.8
- PyArrow version: 11.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.5.2


Comments: Hi ! I couldn't reproduce your issue :/

It seems that `shutil.rmtree` failed. It is supposed to work even if the directory is not empty, but you still end up with `OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty:`. Can you make sure another process is not using this directory at the same time ?

I have the same error with `datasets==2.14.5` and `pyarrow==13.0.0`. Python 3.10.13

I have same error. Any workaround?
Enwik8 should support the standard split
State: closed | Author: lucaslingle (NONE)
Labels: name: enhancement

### Feature request

The HuggingFace Datasets library currently supports two BuilderConfigs for Enwik8. One config yields individual lines as examples, while the other config yields the entire dataset as a single example. Both support only a monolithic split: it is all grouped as "train". 

The HuggingFace Datasets library should include a BuilderConfig for Enwik8 with train, validation, and test sets derived from the first 90 million bytes, next 5 million bytes, and last 5 million bytes, respectively. This Enwik8 split is standard practice in LM papers, as elaborated and motivated below. 

### Motivation

Enwik8 is commonly split into 90M, 5M, 5M consecutive bytes. This is done in the Transformer-XL [codebase](https://github.com/kimiyoung/transformer-xl/blob/44781ed21dbaec88b280f74d9ae2877f52b492a5/getdata.sh#L34), and is additionally mentioned in the Sparse Transformers [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.10509) and the Compressive Transformers [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.05507). This split is pretty much universal among language modeling papers. 

One may obtain the splits by manual wrangling, using the data yielded by the ```enwik8-raw``` BuilderConfig. However, this undermines the seamless functionality of the library: one must slice the single raw example, extract it into three tensors, and wrap each in a separate dataset. 

This becomes even more of a nuisance if using the current Enwik8 HuggingFace dataset as a TfdsDataSource with [SeqIO](https://github.com/google/seqio), where a pipeline of preprocessors is typically included in a SeqIO Task definition, to be applied immediately after loading the data with TFDS. 

### Your contribution

Supporting this functionality in HuggingFace Datasets will only require an additional BuilderConfig for Enwik8 and a few additional lines of code. I will submit a PR. 

Comments: #self-assign

The Enwik8 pipeline is not present in this codebase, and is hosted elsewhere. I have opened a PR [there](https://huggingface.co/datasets/enwik8/discussions/4) instead.
The order of data split names is nondeterministic

This is caused by the use of `set` for sharded splits.
Fallback JSON Dataset loading does not load all values when features specified manually
State: closed | Author: myluki2000 (NONE)

### Describe the bug

The fallback JSON dataset loader located here:

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/1c4ec00511868bd881e84a6f7e0333648d833b8e/src/datasets/packaged_modules/json/json.py#L130-L153

does not load the values of features correctly when features are specified manually and not all features have a value in the first entry of the dataset. I'm pretty sure this is not supposed to be expected bahavior?

To fix this you'd have to change this line:

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/1c4ec00511868bd881e84a6f7e0333648d833b8e/src/datasets/packaged_modules/json/json.py#L140

To pass a schema to pyarrow which has the same structure as the features argument passed to the load_dataset() method.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Consider a dataset JSON like this:

```
[
{
	"instruction": "Do stuff",
	"output": "Answer stuff"
},
{
	"instruction": "Do stuff2",
	"input": "Additional Input2",
	"output": "Answer stuff2"
}
]
```

Using this code to load the dataset:

```
from datasets import load_dataset, Features, Value

features = {
    "instruction": Value("string"),
    "input": Value("string"),
    "output": Value("string")
}
features = Features(features)

ds = load_dataset("json", data_files="./ds.json", features=features)

for row in ds["train"]:
    print(row)
```

we get a dataset that looks like this:

| **Instruction** | **Input**          | **Output**      |
|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------|
| "Do stuff"      | None               | "Answer Stuff"  |
| "Do stuff2"     | None               | "Answer Stuff2" |

### Expected behavior

The input column should contain values other than None for dataset entries that have the "input" attribute set:

| **Instruction** | **Input**          | **Output**      |
|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------|
| "Do stuff"      | None               | "Answer Stuff"  |
| "Do stuff2"     | "Additional Input2" | "Answer Stuff2" |

### Environment info

Python 3.10.10
Datasets 2.11.0
Windows 10

Comments: Thanks for reporting, @myluki2000.

I am working on a fix.
How to limit the number of examples in dataset, for testing?
State: closed | Author: ndvbd (NONE)

### Describe the bug

I am using this command:
`data = load_dataset("json", data_files=data_path)`
However, I want to add a parameter, to limit the number of loaded examples to be 10, for development purposes, but can't find this simple parameter.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

In the description.

### Expected behavior

To be able to limit the number of examples

### Environment info

Nothing special

Comments: Hi! You can use the `nrows` parameter for this:
```python
data = load_dataset("json", data_files=data_path, nrows=10)
```

@mariosasko I get:

`TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'nrows'`

I misread the format in which the dataset is stored -  the `nrows` parameter works for CSV, but not JSON.

This means the only option is first to create a DataFrame and then convert it to a Dataset object:
```python
import pandas as pd
from datasets import Dataset

df = pd.read_json(data_path, lines=True, nrows=10)
ds = Dataset.from_pandas(df)
```
Calling datasets.load_dataset("text" ...) results in a wrong split.
State: open | Author: cyrilzakka (NONE)

### Describe the bug

When creating a text dataset, the training split should have the bulk of the examples by default. Currently, testing does.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

I have a folder with 18K text files in it. Each text file essentially consists in a document or article scraped from online. Calling the following codeL
```
folder_path = "/home/cyril/Downloads/llama_dataset"
data = datasets.load_dataset("text", data_dir=folder_path)
data.save_to_disk("/home/cyril/Downloads/data.hf")

data = datasets.load_from_disk("/home/cyril/Downloads/data.hf")
print(data)
```

Results in the following split:
```
DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['text'],
        num_rows: 2114
    })
    test: Dataset({
        features: ['text'],
        num_rows: 200882
    })
    validation: Dataset({
        features: ['text'],
        num_rows: 152
    })
})
```

It seems to me like the train/test/validation splits are in the wrong order since test split >>>> train_split

### Expected behavior

Train split should have the bulk of the training examples.

### Environment info

datasets 2.11.0, python 3.10.6
Handle empty audio
State: closed | Author: ben-8878 (NONE)

Some audio paths exist, but they are empty, and an error will be reported when reading the audio path.How to use the filter function to avoid the empty audio path?
when a audio is empty, when do resample , it will break:
`array, sampling_rate = sf.read(f) array = librosa.resample(array, orig_sr=sampling_rate, target_sr=self.sampling_rate)`

Comments: Hi! Can you share one of the problematic audio files with us?

I tried to reproduce the error with the following code: 
```python
import soundfile as sf
import numpy as np
from datasets import Audio

sf.write("empty.wav",  np.array([]), 16000)
Audio(sampling_rate=24000).decode_example({"path": "empty.wav", "bytes": None})
```
But without success.

Also, what version of `librosa` is installed in your env? (You can get this info with `python -c "import librosa; print(librosa.__version__)`)

Return Numpy Array (fixed length) Mode, in __get_item__, Instead of List
State: closed | Author: jungbaepark (NONE)
Labels: name: enhancement

### Feature request

There are old known issues, but they can be easily forgettable problems in multiprocessing with pytorch-dataloader:

Too high usage of RAM or shared-memory in pytorch when we set num workers > 1 and returning type of dataset or dataloader is "List" or "Dict".
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/13246 

With huggingface datasets, unfortunately, the default return type is the list, so the problem is raised too often if we do not set anything for the issue.


However, this issue can be released when the returning output is fixed in length.
Therefore, I request the mode, returning outputs with fixed length (e.g. numpy array) rather than list.

The design would be good when we load datasets as
```python
load_dataset(..., with_return_as_fixed_tensor=True)
```

### Motivation

The general solution for this issue is already in the comments:  https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/13246#issuecomment-905703662 

: Numpy or Pandas seems not to have problems, while both have the string type.
(I'm not sure that the sequence of huggingface datasets can solve this problem as well)


### Your contribution

 I'll read it ! thanks

Comments: Hi! 

You can use [`.set_format("np")`](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/process#format) to get NumPy arrays (or Pytorch tensors with `.set_format("torch")`) in `__getitem__`.

Also, have you been able to reproduce the linked PyTorch issue with a HF dataset?
Dataset sizes are in MiB instead of MB in dataset cards
State: closed | Author: albertvillanova (MEMBER)
Labels: name: bug

name: dataset-viewer

As @severo reported in an internal discussion (https://github.com/huggingface/moon-landing/issues/5929):

Now we show the dataset size:
- from the dataset card (in the side column)
- from the datasets-server (in the viewer)

But, even if the size is the same, we see a mismatch because the viewer shows MB, while the info from the README generally shows MiB (even if it's written MB -> https://huggingface.co/datasets/blimp/blob/main/README.md?code=true#L1932)

- [x] Bulk PR on the Hub to fix ancient canonical datasets that were moved to organizations

Comments: Example of bulk edit: https://huggingface.co/datasets/aeslc/discussions/5

looks great! 

Do you encode the fact that you've already converted a dataset? (to not convert it twice) or do you base yourself on the info contained in `dataset_info`

I am only looping trough the dataset cards, assuming that all of them were created with MiB.

I agree we should only run the bulk edit once for all canonical datasets: I'm using a for-loop over canonical datasets.

yes, worst case, we have this in structured data:

<img width="337" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/326577/230037051-06caddcb-08c8-4953-a710-f3d122917db3.png">


I have just included as well the conversion from MB to GB if necessary. See: 
- https://huggingface.co/datasets/bookcorpus/discussions/2/files
- https://huggingface.co/datasets/asnq/discussions/2/files

Nice. Is it another loop? Because in https://huggingface.co/datasets/amazon_us_reviews/discussions/2/files we have `32377.29 MB` for example

First, I tested some batches to check the changes made. Then I incorporated the MB to GB conversion. Now I'm running the rest.

The bulk edit parsed 751 canonical datasets and updated 166.

Thanks a lot!

The sizes now match as expected!

Getting next item from IterableDataset took forever.
State: closed | Author: HongtaoYang (NONE)

### Describe the bug

I have a large dataset, about 500GB. The format of the dataset is parquet. 

I then load the dataset and try to get the first item
```python
def get_one_item():
    dataset = load_dataset("path/to/datafiles", split="train", cache_dir=".", streaming=True)
    dataset = dataset.filter(lambda example: example['text'].startswith('Ar'))
    print(next(iter(dataset)))
```

However, this function never finish. I waited ~10mins, the function was still running so I killed the process. I'm now using `line_profiler` to profile how long it would take to return one item. I'll be patient and wait for as long as it needs. 

I suspect the filter operation is the reason why it took so long. Can I get some possible reasons behind this?

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Unfortunately without my data files, there is no way to reproduce this bug.

### Expected behavior

With `IteralbeDataset`, I expect the first item to be returned instantly.

### Environment info

- datasets version: 2.11.0 
- python: 3.7.12

Comments: Hi! It can take some time to iterate over Parquet files as big as yours, convert the samples to Python, and find the first one that matches a filter predicate before yielding it...

Thanks @mariosasko, I figured it was the filter operation. I'm closing this issue because it is not a bug, it is the expected beheaviour.
5537 speedup load
State: open | Author: semajyllek (NONE)

I reimplemented fsspec.spec.glob() in `hffilesystem.py` as `_glob`,  used it in `_resolve_single_pattern_in_dataset_repository` only, and saw a 20% speedup in times to load the config, on average. 

That's not much when usually this step takes only 2-3 seconds for most datasets, but in this particular case,  `bigcode/the-stack-dedup` , the loading time to get the config (not download the entire 6tb dataset, of course), went from ~170 secs to ~20 secs. 

What makes this work is this code in `_glob`:

```  
      if self.dir_cache is not None:
            allpaths = self.dir_cache
        else:
            allpaths = self.find(root, maxdepth=depth, withdirs=True, detail=True, **kwargs)
```

I also had to `import glob.has_magic( )` for `_glob()` (confusing, I know).

I hope there is no issue with copying most of the code from `fsspec.spec.glob`, as it is a BSD 3-Clause License, 
and I left a comment about this in the docstring of` _glob()`, that we may want to delete.

As mentioned, I evaluated the speedup across a random selection of about 1000 datasets (not all 27k+), and verified that old_config.eq(new_method_config) with the build in method, but deleted this test and related code changes on the subsequent commit. It's in the commit history if anyone wants to see it. (Note this does not include the outlier of  `bigcode/the-stack-dedup`

Comments: Awesome ! cc @mariosasko :)

The docs for this PR live [here](https://moon-ci-docs.huggingface.co/docs/datasets/pr_5704). All of your documentation changes will be reflected on that endpoint.

Hi, thanks for working on this!

Your solution only works if the `root` is `""`, e.g., this would yield an incorrect result:
```python
dset = load_dataset("user/hf-dataset-repo", data_dir="path/to/data_dir")
```

Also, the `HfFileSystem` implementation in `datasets` will be replaced with the more powerful [one](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/hf_file_system.py) from `huggingface_hub` soon (I plan to open a PR that makes `find` much faster in the coming days). 

So I don't think we want to merge this PR in the current state, but thanks again for the effort.

 (I'll comment on the original issue to propose a cleaner solution)

Ooof. Sorry, I should have checked that more thoroughly then! I would say we could just add that check and only use my approach if the root is "", which would still be faster in many cases, but it sounds like you have a better solution on the way. Thanks for the feedback Mario.
[WIP][Test, Please ignore] Investigate performance impact of using multiprocessing only
State: closed | Author: hvaara (NONE)


Comments: `multiprocess` uses `dill` instead of `pickle` for pickling shared objects and, as such, can pickle more types than `multiprocessing`. And I don't think this is something we want to change :).

That makes sense to me, and I don't think you should merge this change. I was only curious about the performance impact. I saw the benchmarks that was produced in other PRs, and wanted to get a better understanding of it. I created this PR to see if it got automatically added here.

Is there a way I can generate those benchmarks myself?

You can find some speed comparisons between dill and pickle on SO if you google "dill vs pickle speed".

And for the benchmarks, you can generate them locally with DVC running this code from the repo root: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/0803a006db1c395ac715662cc6079651f77c11ea/.github/workflows/benchmarks.yaml#L23-L47.

Thanks for the help @mariosasko!
Add Qdrant as another search index
State: open | Author: kacperlukawski (CONTRIBUTOR)
Labels: name: enhancement

### Feature request

I'd suggest adding Qdrant (https://qdrant.tech) as another search index available, so users can directly build an index from a dataset. Currently, FAISS and ElasticSearch are only supported: https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/faiss_es 

### Motivation

ElasticSearch is a keyword-based search system, while FAISS is a vector search library. Vector database, such as Qdrant, is a different tool based on similarity (like FAISS) but is not limited to a single machine. It makes the vector database well-suited for bigger datasets and collaboration if several people want to access a particular dataset.

### Your contribution

I can provide a PR implementing that functionality on my own.

Comments: @mariosasko I'd appreciate your feedback on this.
