Cannot load `the_pile_openwebtext2`
State: closed | Author: wjfwzzc (NONE)

### Describe the bug

I met the same bug mentioned in #3053 which is never fixed. Because several `reddit_scores` are larger than `int8` even `int16`. https://huggingface.co/datasets/the_pile_openwebtext2/blob/main/the_pile_openwebtext2.py#L62

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python3
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("the_pile_openwebtext2")
```

### Expected behavior

load as normal.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.10.0
- Platform: Linux-5.4.143.bsk.7-amd64-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
- Python version: 3.9.2
- PyArrow version: 11.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.5.3

Comments: Hi! I've merged a PR to use `int32` instead of `int8` for `reddit_scores`, so it should work now.
I was getting a similar error `pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: Integer value 528 not in range: -128 to 127` - AFAICT, this is because the type specified for `reddit_scores` is `datasets.Sequence(datasets.Value("int8"))`, but the actual values can be well outside the max range for 8-bit integers.

I worked around this by downloading the `the_pile_openwebtext2.py` and editing it to use local files and drop reddit scores as a column (not needed for my purposes).

Metadata for each column
State: open | Author: parsa-ra (NONE)
Labels: name: enhancement

### Feature request

Being able to put some metadata for each column as a string or any other type.


### Motivation

I will bring the motivation by an example, lets say we are experimenting with embedding produced by some image encoder network, and we want to iterate through a couple of preprocessing and see which one works better in our downstream task, here as workaround right now what I do is the compute the hash of the preprocessing that the images went through as part of the new columns name, it would be nice to attach some kinda meta data in these scenarios to the each columns. metadata

### Your contribution

Maybe we could map another relational like database as the metadata? 

Comments: Hi! Indeed it would be useful to support this. PyArrow natively supports schema-level and column-level metadata, so implementing this should be straightforward. The API I have in mind would work as follows:
```python
col_feature = Value("string", metadata="Some column-level metadata")

features = Features({"col": col_feature}, metadata="Some schema-level metadata")
```

WDYT?

Sorry for the late reply, 
Yes, I think this is the most straight-forward approach with the things that we already have.



@mariosasko Let me know how I can help.

Hi, is this feature to be implemented in the near future? It would be really nice if that would be the case! 

Hi, I also need this feature for tell my customer if any of the feature is encrypted with a certain key.
Datasets 2.10.0 does not reuse the dataset cache
State: closed | Author: lsb (NONE)

### Describe the bug

download_mode="reuse_dataset_if_exists" will always consider that a dataset doesn't exist.

Specifically, upon losing an internet connection trying to load a dataset for a second time in ten seconds, a connection error results, showing a breakpoint of:

```
File ~/jupyterlab/.direnv/python-3.9.6/lib/python3.9/site-packages/datasets/load.py:1174, in dataset_module_factory(path, revision, download_config, download_mode, dynamic_modules_path, data_dir, data_files, **download_kwargs)
   1165 except Exception as e:  # noqa: catch any exception of hf_hub and consider that the dataset doesn't exist
   1166     if isinstance(
   1167         e,
   1168         (
   (...)
   1172         ),
   1173     ):
-> 1174         raise ConnectionError(f"Couldn't reach '{path}' on the Hub ({type(e).__name__})")
   1175     elif "404" in str(e):
   1176         msg = f"Dataset '{path}' doesn't exist on the Hub"

ConnectionError: Couldn't reach 'lsb/tenk' on the Hub (ConnectionError)
```

This has been around since at least v2.0.


### Steps to reproduce the bug

```
from datasets import load_dataset
import numpy as np

tenk = load_dataset("lsb/tenk") # ten thousand integers
print(np.average(tenk['train']['a'])) # prints 4999.5

### now disconnect your internet

tenk_too = load_dataset("lsb/tenk", download_mode="reuse_dataset_if_exists") 
# Raises ConnectionError: Couldn't reach 'lsb/tenk' on the Hub (ConnectionError)
```

### Expected behavior

I expected that I would be able to reuse the dataset I just downloaded.

### Environment info


- `datasets` version: 2.10.0
- Platform: macOS-13.1-arm64-arm-64bit
- Python version: 3.9.6
- PyArrow version: 7.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.5.2
load_dataset fails for JSON in windows
State: closed | Author: abinashsahu (NONE)

### Describe the bug

Steps:
1. Created a dataset in a Linux VM and created a small sample using dataset.to_json() method.
2. Downloaded the JSON file to my local Windows machine for working and saved in say - r"C:\Users\name\file.json"
3. I am reading the file in my local PyCharm - the location of python file is different than the location of the JSON. 
4. When I read using load_dataset("json",args.input_json), it throws and error from builder.py. 
raise InvalidConfigName(
                    f"Bad characters from black list '{invalid_windows_characters}' found in '{self.name}'. "
                    f"They could create issues when creating a directory for this config on Windows filesystem."
6. When I bring the data to the current directory, it works fine. 

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Steps:
1. Created a dataset in a Linux VM and created a small sample using dataset.to_json() method.
2. Downloaded the JSON file to my local Windows machine for working and saved in say - r"C:\Users\name\file.json"

                    f"They could create issues when creating a directory for this config on Windows filesystem."
6. When I bring the data to the current directory, it works fine. 

### Expected behavior

Should be able to read from a path different than current directory in Windows machine.

### Environment info

datasets version: 2.3.1
python version: 3.8
Windows OS

Comments: Hi! 

You need to pass an input json file explicitly as `data_files` to `load_dataset` to avoid this error:
```python
 ds = load_dataset("json", data_files=args.input_json)
```



Thanks it worked!
load_dataset gives FileNotFoundError on imagenet-1k if license is not accepted on the hub
State: closed | Author: buoi (NONE)

### Describe the bug

When calling ```load_dataset('imagenet-1k')``` FileNotFoundError is raised, if not logged in and if logged in with huggingface-cli but not having accepted the licence on the hub. There is no error once accepting.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```
from datasets import load_dataset

imagenet = load_dataset("imagenet-1k", split="train", streaming=True)

FileNotFoundError: Couldn't find a dataset script at /content/imagenet-1k/imagenet-1k.py or any data file in the same directory. Couldn't find 'imagenet-1k' on the Hugging Face Hub either: FileNotFoundError: Dataset 'imagenet-1k' doesn't exist on the Hub
```
tested on a colab notebook.

### Expected behavior

I would expect a specific error indicating that I have to login then accept the dataset licence.

I find this bug very relevant as this code is on a guide on the [Huggingface documentation for Datasets](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/about_mapstyle_vs_iterable)

### Environment info

google colab cpu-only instance

Comments: Hi, thanks for the feedback! Would it help to add a tip or note saying the dataset is gated and you need to accept the license before downloading it?

The error is now more informative:
```
FileNotFoundError: Couldn't find a dataset script at /content/imagenet-1k/imagenet-1k.py or any data file in the same directory. Couldn't find 'imagenet-1k' on the Hugging Face Hub either: FileNotFoundError: Dataset 'imagenet-1k' doesn't exist on the Hub. If the repo is private or gated, make sure to log in with `huggingface-cli login`.

dataset.to_iterable_dataset() loses useful info like dataset features
State: closed | Author: bruno-hays (CONTRIBUTOR)
Labels: name: enhancement

name: good first issue

### Describe the bug

Hello,
I like the new `to_iterable_dataset` feature but I noticed something that seems to be missing.

When using `to_iterable_dataset` to transform your map style dataset into iterable dataset, you lose valuable metadata like the features. 

These metadata are useful if you want to interleave iterable datasets, cast columns etc.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
dataset = load_dataset("lhoestq/demo1")["train"]
print(dataset.features)
# {'id': Value(dtype='string', id=None), 'package_name': Value(dtype='string', id=None), 'review': Value(dtype='string', id=None), 'date': Value(dtype='string', id=None), 'star': Value(dtype='int64', id=None), 'version_id': Value(dtype='int64', id=None)}
dataset = dataset.to_iterable_dataset()
print(dataset.features)
# None
```

### Expected behavior

Keep the relevant information

### Environment info

datasets==2.10.0

Comments: Hi ! Oh good catch. I think the features should be passed to `IterableDataset.from_generator()` in `to_iterable_dataset()` indeed.

Setting this as a good first issue if someone would like to contribute, otherwise we can take care of it :)

#self-assign

seems like the feature parameter is missing from `return IterableDataset.from_generator(Dataset._iter_shards, gen_kwargs={"shards": shards})`  hence it defaults to None.
Directly reading parquet files in a s3 bucket from the load_dataset method
State: open | Author: shamanez (NONE)
Labels: name: duplicate

name: enhancement

### Feature request

Right now, we have to read the get the parquet file to the local storage. So having ability to read given the bucket directly address would be benificial 

### Motivation

In a production set up, this feature can help us a lot. So we do not need move training datafiles in between storage.  

### Your contribution

I am willing to help if there's anyway. 

Comments: Hi ! I think is in the scope of this other issue: to https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/5281
Apply flake8-comprehensions to codebase
State: closed | Author: Skylion007 (CONTRIBUTOR)
Labels: name: enhancement

### Feature request

Apply ruff flake8 comprehension checks to codebase. 

### Motivation

This should strictly improve the performance / readability of the codebase by removing unnecessary iteration, function calls, etc. This should generate better Python bytecode which should strictly improve performance.

I already applied this fixes to PyTorch and Sympy with little issue and have opened PRs to diffusers and transformers todo this as well.

### Your contribution

Making a PR.
Downloaded datasets do not cache at $HF_HOME
State: closed | Author: ErfanMoosaviMonazzah (NONE)

### Describe the bug

In the huggingface course (https://huggingface.co/course/chapter3/2?fw=pt) it said that if we set HF_HOME, downloaded datasets would be cached at specified address but it does not. downloaded models from checkpoint names are downloaded and cached at HF_HOME but this is not the case for datasets, they are still cached at ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Run the following code
```
from datasets import load_dataset
raw_datasets = load_dataset("glue", "mrpc")
raw_datasets
```

it downloads and store dataset at ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets

### Expected behavior

to cache dataset at HF_HOME.

### Environment info

python 3.10.6
Kubuntu 22.04
HF_HOME located on a separate partition

Comments: Hi ! Can you make sure you set `HF_HOME` before importing `datasets` ?

Then you can print
```python
print(datasets.config.HF_CACHE_HOME)
print(datasets.config.HF_DATASETS_CACHE)
```
Added return methods for URL-references to the pushed dataset
State: open | Author: davidberenstein1957 (NONE)

Hi,

I was missing the ability to easily open the pushed dataset and it seemed like a quick fix.
Maybe we also want to log this info somewhere, but let me know if I need to add that too.

Cheers,
David

Comments: Hi ! Maybe we'd need to align with `transformers` and other libraries that implement `push_to_hub` to agree on what it should return.

e.g. in `transformers` the typing says it returns a string, but in practice it returns a `CommitInfo`.

Therefore I'd not add an output to `push_to_hub` here unless we had a chance to discuss more broadly.

Anyway in my opinion it should no just return the URL of the repository, but ideally the URL at the revision where the data were pushed

Perhaps a mixin or something similar could be defined on the `hfh` side to ensure the `push_to_hub` API is aligned across our projects. 

PS: this would also mean that the PRs such as https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/5528 would no longer be our responsibility

cc @Wauplin 

I agree, with universability and the idea is more about returning at least something that references where to find the uploaded file/model or otherwise. 

Ideally, the referenced PR would work.

imo this would be a good use case to just use `huggingface_hub` and align to what we do there :)

@mariosasko, can you give me some pointers to where I might help implementing this for the `huggingface-hub`?

> @mariosasko: Perhaps a mixin or something similar could be defined on the hfh side to ensure the push_to_hub API is aligned across our projects.

> @julien-c: imo this would be a good use case to just use huggingface_hub and align to what we do there :)

I (finally) opened a PR to harmonize return types: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/pull/1921. It should hopefully be shipped in next release later this week (:crossed_fingers:).
the pile datasets url seems to change back
State: closed | Author: wjfwzzc (NONE)

### Describe the bug

in #3627, the host url of the pile dataset became `https://mystic.the-eye.eu`. Now the new url is broken, but `https://the-eye.eu` seems to work again.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python3
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("bookcorpusopen")
```
shows
```python3
ConnectionError: Couldn't reach https://mystic.the-eye.eu/public/AI/pile_preliminary_components/books1.tar.gz (ProxyError(MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='mystic.the-eye.eu', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /public/AI/pile_pr
eliminary_components/books1.tar.gz (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 504 Gateway Timeout')))")))
```

### Expected behavior

Downloading as normal.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.9.0
- Platform: Linux-5.4.143.bsk.7-amd64-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
- Python version: 3.9.2

IndexError: invalid index of a 0-dim tensor. Use `tensor.item()` in Python or `tensor.item<T>()` in C++ to convert a 0-dim tensor to a number
State: closed | Author: aalbersk (NONE)
Labels: name: good first issue

### Describe the bug

When dataset contains a 0-dim tensor, formatting.py raises a following error and fails.
```bash
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<path>/lib/python3.8/site-packages/datasets/formatting/formatting.py", line 501, in format_row
    return _unnest(formatted_batch)
  File "<path>/lib/python3.8/site-packages/datasets/formatting/formatting.py", line 137, in _unnest
    return {key: array[0] for key, array in py_dict.items()}
  File "<path>/lib/python3.8/site-packages/datasets/formatting/formatting.py", line 137, in <dictcomp>
    return {key: array[0] for key, array in py_dict.items()}
IndexError: invalid index of a 0-dim tensor. Use `tensor.item()` in Python or `tensor.item<T>()` in C++ to convert a 0-dim tensor to a number
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Load whichever dataset and add transform method to add 0-dim tensor. Or create/find a dataset containing 0-dim tensor. E.g.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
import torch

dataset = load_dataset("lambdalabs/pokemon-blip-captions", split='train')
def t(batch):
    return {"test": torch.tensor(1)}
    
dataset.set_transform(t)
d_0 = dataset[0]
```

### Expected behavior

Extractor will correctly get a row from the dataset, even if it contains 0-dim tensor.

### Environment info

`datasets==2.8.0`, but it looks like it is also applicable to main branch version (as of 16th February)

Comments: Hi! The `set_transform` does not apply a custom formatting transform on a single example but the entire batch, so the fixed version of your transform would look as follows:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
import torch

dataset = load_dataset("lambdalabs/pokemon-blip-captions", split='train')
def t(batch):
    return {"test": torch.tensor([1] * len(batch[next(iter(batch))]))}
    
dataset.set_transform(t)
d_0 = dataset[0]
```

Still, the formatter's error message should mention that a dict of **sequences** is expected as the returned value (not just a dict) to make debugging easier.

I can take this

Fixed in #5553

Increase speed of data files resolution
State: closed | Author: lhoestq (MEMBER)
Labels: name: enhancement

name: good second issue

Certain datasets like `bigcode/the-stack-dedup` have so many files that loading them takes forever right from the data files resolution step.

`datasets` uses file patterns to check the structure of the repository but it takes too much time to iterate over and over again on all the data files.

This comes from `resolve_patterns_in_dataset_repository` which calls `_resolve_single_pattern_in_dataset_repository`, which iterates on all the files at
```python
glob_iter = [PurePath(filepath) for filepath in fs.glob(PurePath(pattern).as_posix()) if fs.isfile(filepath)]
```
but calling `glob` on such a dataset is too expensive. Indeed it calls `ls()` in `hffilesystem.py` too many times.

Maybe `glob` can be more optimized in `hffilesystem.py`, or the data files resolution can directly be implemented in the filesystem by checking its `dir_cache` ?

Comments: #self-assign

You were right, if `self.dir_cache` is not None in glob, it is exactly the same as what is returned by find, at least for all the tests we have, and some extended evaluation I did across a random sample of about 1000 datasets. 

Thanks for the nice hints, and let me know if this is not exactly what we want here!

see PR: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/5704



I think we can make the data files resolution (significantly) faster in 2 steps:

1. `glob` calls `find` (which in turn calls `ls`), so we need `find` to be fast, and this can be achieved by fetching all the entries in a single API call and avoiding calls to `ls`. Implementing this for `HfFileSystem.find` (the one in `huggingface_hub`) is on my TO-DO list.
2. caching the repeated `find` calls in `_get_data_files_patterns` when the `data_files` patterns are not provided in `load_dataset`. To address this, we can introduce a `_resolve_single_pattern` function that would accept a filesystem object and a list of regex patterns to resolve. Then we can wrap this filesystem object in `_get_data_files_patterns` with an object that would cache the find calls before resolving the patterns with `_resolve_single_pattern`. (Feel free to suggest a cleaner implementation)

WDYT?

Good idea :) 

For 2:

That would work ! It's also possible to have a FileSystem with a cache on `.find` and use it inside the resolver passed to `_get_data_files_patterns`. Right now they're pretty simple:

```python
# for remote repositories
resolver = partial(_resolve_single_pattern_in_dataset_repository, dataset_info, base_path=base_path)
# for local
resolver = partial(_resolve_single_pattern_locally, base_path)
```

something like this maybe (with Quentin's reimplementation of `HfFilesystem.find`)?

 ```
 @lru_cache(max_size=None)
 def _find(self, path, maxdepth=None, withdirs=False, detail=False, **kwargs):
```

In any case please let me know if I can help in any way!
