GitHub issue #4238: Dataset caching policy
State: closed | Created: 2022-04-27T10:42:11Z

## Describe the bug
I cannot clean cache of my datasets files, despite I have updated the `csv` files on the repository [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/loretoparisi/tatoeba-sentences). The original file had a line with bad characters, causing the following error

```
[/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/datasets/features/features.py](https://localhost:8080/#) in str2int(self, values)
    852                 if value not in self._str2int:
    853                     value = str(value).strip()
--> 854                 output.append(self._str2int[str(value)])
    855             else:
    856                 # No names provided, try to integerize

KeyError: '\\N'
```

The file now is cleanup up, but I still get the error. This happens even if I inspect the local cached contents, and cleanup the files locally:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset_builder
dataset_builder = load_dataset_builder("loretoparisi/tatoeba-sentences")
print(dataset_builder.cache_dir)
print(dataset_builder.info.features)
print(dataset_builder.info.splits)
```

```
Using custom data configuration loretoparisi--tatoeba-sentences-e59b8ad92f1bb8dd
/root/.cache/huggingface/datasets/csv/loretoparisi--tatoeba-sentences-e59b8ad92f1bb8dd/0.0.0/433e0ccc46f9880962cc2b12065189766fbb2bee57a221866138fb9203c83519
None
None
```

and removing files located at `/root/.cache/huggingface/datasets/csv/loretoparisi--tatoeba-sentences-*`.
 Is there any remote file caching policy in place? If so, is it possibile to programmatically disable it? 
Currently it seems that the file `test.csv` on the repo [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/loretoparisi/tatoeba-sentences/blob/main/test.csv) is cached remotely. In fact I download locally the file from raw link, the file is up-to-date; but If I use it within `datasets` as shown above, it gives to me always the first revision of the file, not the last.

Thank you.

features = Features({ 'label': ClassLabel(names=class_names), 'text': Value('string')})
num_labels = features['label'].num_classes
data_files = { "train": "train.csv", "test": "test.csv" }
sentences = load_dataset(
     "loretoparisi/tatoeba-sentences",
     data_files=data_files,

     column_names=['label', 'text'],

# You can make this part faster with num_proc=<some int>
sentences = sentences.map(lambda ex: {"label" : features["label"].str2int(ex["label"]) if ex["label"] is not None else None}, features=features)
sentences = sentences.shuffle()
```

## Expected results
Properly tokenize dataset file `test.csv` without issues.

## Actual results
