GitHub issue #2026: KeyError on using map after renaming a column
State: closed | Created: 2021-03-10T18:54:17Z

Hi,

I'm trying to use `cifar10` dataset. I want to rename the `img` feature to `image` in order to make it consistent with `mnist`, which I'm also planning to use. By doing this, I was trying to avoid modifying `prepare_train_features` function.

Here is what I try:

```python
transform = Compose([ToPILImage(),ToTensor(),Normalize([0.0,0.0,0.0],[1.0,1.0,1.0])])
def prepare_features(examples):
    images = []
    labels = []
    print(examples)
    for example_idx, example in enumerate(examples["image"]):
        if transform is not None:
            images.append(transform(examples["image"][example_idx].permute(2,0,1)))
        else:
            images.append(examples["image"][example_idx].permute(2,0,1))
        labels.append(examples["label"][example_idx])
    output = {"label":labels, "image":images}
    return output

raw_dataset = load_dataset('cifar10')
raw_dataset.set_format('torch',columns=['img','label'])
raw_dataset = raw_dataset.rename_column('img','image')

features = datasets.Features({
            "image": datasets.Array3D(shape=(3,32,32),dtype="float32"),
            "label": datasets.features.ClassLabel(names=[
                            "airplane",
                            "automobile",
                            "bird",
                            "cat",
                            "deer",
                            "dog",
                            "frog",
                            "horse",
                            "ship",
                            "truck",
                        ]),
        })
train_dataset = raw_dataset.map(prepare_features, features = features,batched=True, batch_size=10000)
```
The error:
```python

KeyError: 'image'
```

The print statement inside returns this:
```python
{'label': tensor([6, 9])}
```
Apparently, both `img` and `image` do not exist after renaming. 

Note that this code works fine with `img` everywhere.
