GitHub issue #6505: Got stuck when I trying to load a dataset
State: open | Created: 2023-12-16T11:51:07Z

### Describe the bug

Hello, everyone. I met a problem when I am trying to load a data file using load_dataset method on a Debian 10 system. The data file is not very large, only 1.63MB with 600 records. 
Here is my code:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset('json', data_files='mypath/oaast_rm_zh.json')

I waited it for 20 minutes. It still no response. I cannot using Ctrl+C to cancel the command. I have to use Ctrl+Z to kill it. I also try it with a txt file, it still no response in a long time. 

I can load the same file successfully using my laptop (windows 10, python 3.8.5, datasets==2.14.5). I can also make it on another computer (Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, python 3.10.13, datasets 2.14.7). It only takes me 1-2 miniutes.

Could you give me some suggestions? Thank you.



### Steps to reproduce the bug

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset('json', data_files='mypath/oaast_rm_zh.json')

### Expected behavior

I hope it can load the file successfully.
