Datasets load error for saved github issues
Author: folterj | Pull request: no | State: open

### Describe the bug

Loading a previously downloaded & saved dataset as described in the HuggingFace course:

issues_dataset = load_dataset("json", data_files="issues/datasets-issues.jsonl", split="train")

Gives this error:
datasets.builder.DatasetGenerationError: An error occurred while generating the dataset

A work-around I found was to use streaming.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Reproduce by executing the code provided:
https://huggingface.co/course/chapter5/5?fw=pt
From the heading:
'let’s create a function that can download all the issues from a GitHub repository'

### Expected behavior

No error

### Environment info

Datasets version 2.8.0. Note that version 2.6.1 gives the same error (related to null timestamp).

**[EDIT]**

This is the complete error trace confirming the issue is related to the timestamp (`Couldn't cast array of type timestamp[s] to null`)
