GitHub issue #2441: DuplicatedKeysError on personal dataset
State: closed | Created: 2021-06-01T17:59:41Z

## Describe the bug
Ever since today, I have been getting a DuplicatedKeysError while trying to load my dataset from my own script.
Error returned when running this line: `dataset = load_dataset('/content/drive/MyDrive/Thesis/Datasets/book_preprocessing/goodreads_maharjan_trimmed_and_nered/goodreadsnered.py')`
Note that my script was working fine with earlier versions of the Datasets library. Cannot say with 100% certainty if I have been doing something wrong with my dataset script this whole time or if this is simply a bug with the new version of datasets.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
I cannot provide code to reproduce the error as I am working with my own dataset. I can however provide my script if requested.

## Expected results
For my data to be loaded.

## Actual results
**DuplicatedKeysError** exception is raised
```
