load_dataset for CSV files not working

Similar to #622, I've noticed there is a problem when trying to load a CSV file with datasets.

`
from datasets import load_dataset
`
`
dataset = load_dataset("csv", data_files=["./sample_data.csv"], delimiter="\t", column_names=["title", "text"], script_version="master")
`

Displayed error:
`
...
ArrowInvalid: CSV parse error: Expected 2 columns, got 1
`

I should mention that when I've tried to read data from `https://github.com/lhoestq/transformers/tree/custom-dataset-in-rag-retriever/examples/rag/test_data/my_knowledge_dataset.csv` it worked without a problem. I've read that there might be some problems with /r character, so I've removed them from the custom dataset, but the problem still remains.

I've added a colab reproducing the bug, but unfortunately I cannot provide the dataset.
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Qzu7sC-frZVeniiWOwzoCe_UHZsrlxu8?usp=sharing

Are there any work around for it ?
Thank you

Thank you !
Could you provide a csv file that reproduces the error ?
It doesn't have to be one of your dataset. As long as it reproduces the error
That would help a lot !

I think another good example is the following:
`
from datasets import load_dataset
`
`
dataset = load_dataset("csv", data_files=["./sts-dev.csv"], delimiter="\t", column_names=["one", "two", "three", "four",  "score", "sentence1", "sentence2"], script_version="master")`
`

Displayed error `CSV parse error: Expected 7 columns, got 6` even tough I put 7 columns. First four columns from the csv don't have a name, so I've named them by default. The csv file is the .dev file from STSb benchmark dataset.



Hi, seems I also can't read csv file. I was trying with a dummy csv with only three rows.

```
text,label
I hate google,negative
I love Microsoft,positive
I don't like you,negative
```
I was using the HuggingFace image in Paperspace Gradient (datasets==1.1.3). The following code doesn't work:

```
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', script_version="master", data_files=['test_data.csv'], delimiter=",")
```
It outputs the following:
```
Using custom data configuration default
Downloading and preparing dataset csv/default-3b6254ff4dd403e5 (download: Unknown size, generated: Unknown size, post-processed: Unknown size, total: Unknown size) to /root/.cache/huggingface/datasets/csv/default-3b6254ff4dd403e5/0.0.0/2960f95a26e85d40ca41a230ac88787f715ee3003edaacb8b1f0891e9f04dda2...

```
But `len(dataset)` gives `1` and I can't access rows with indexing `dataset[0]` (it gives `KeyError: 0`).

However, loading from pandas dataframe is working.
```
from datasets import Dataset
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('test_data.csv')
dataset = Dataset.from_pandas(df)
```



This is because load_dataset without `split=` returns a dictionary of split names (train/validation/test) to dataset.
You can do
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', script_version="master", data_files=['test_data.csv'], delimiter=",")
print(dataset["train"][0])
```

Or if you want to directly get the train split:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', script_version="master", data_files=['test_data.csv'], delimiter=",", split="train")
print(dataset[0])
```


Good point

Design question for us, though: should `load_dataset` when no split is specified and only one split is present in the dataset (common use case with CSV/text/JSON datasets) return a `Dataset` instead of a `DatsetDict`? I feel like it's often what the user is expecting. I break a bit the paradigm of a unique return type but since this library is designed for widespread DS people more than CS people usage I would tend to think that UX should take precedence over CS reasons. What do you think?

In this case the user expects to get only one dataset object instead of the dictionary of datasets since only one csv file was specified without any split specifications.
I'm ok with returning the dataset object if no split specifications are given for text/json/csv/pandas.

For the other datasets ton the other hand the user doesn't know in advance the splits so I would keep the dictionary by default. What do you think ?

Thanks for your quick response! I'm fine with specifying the split as @lhoestq suggested. My only concern is when I'm loading from python dict or pandas, the library returns a dataset instead of a dictionary of datasets when no split is specified. I know that they use a different function `Dataset.from_dict` or `Dataset.from_pandas` but the text/csv files use `load_dataset()`. However, to the user, they do the same task and we probably expect them to have the same behavior.

```
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files='./amazon_data/Video_Games_5.csv', delimiter=",", split=['train', 'test'])
```
I was running the above line, but got this error.

```ValueError: Unknown split "test". Should be one of ['train'].```

The data is amazon product data. I load the Video_Games_5.json.gz data into pandas and save it as csv file. and then load the csv file using the above code. I thought, ```split=['train', 'test']``` would split the data into train and test. did I misunderstood?

Thank you!



Hi ! the `split` argument in `load_dataset` is used to select the splits you want among the available splits.
However when loading a csv with a single file as you did, only a `train` split is available by default.

Indeed since `data_files='./amazon_data/Video_Games_5.csv'` is equivalent to `data_files={"train": './amazon_data/Video_Games_5.csv'}`, you can get a dataset with 
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files='./amazon_data/Video_Games_5.csv', delimiter=",", split="train")
```

And then to get both a train and test split you can do
```python
dataset = dataset.train_test_split()
print(dataset.keys())
# ['train', 'test']
```


Also note that a csv dataset may have several available splits if it is defined this way:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files={
    "train": './amazon_data/Video_Games_5_train.csv',
    "test": './amazon_data/Video_Games_5_test.csv'
})
print(dataset.keys())
# ['train', 'test']
```

Yes maybe this would be good. I think having to select 'train' from the resulting object why the user gave no split information is a confusing and not intuitive behavior.

I'm also facing the same issue when trying to load from a csv file locally:

```python
from nlp import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files='sample_data.csv')

Hi @kauvinlucas

You can use the latest versions of `datasets` to do this.
To do so, just `pip install datasets` instead of `nlp` (the library was renamed) and then
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files='sample_data.csv')

Hi 
I'm having a different problem with loading local csv. 
```Python
from datasets import load_dataset  
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files='sample.csv')  
```  

gives `ValueError: Specified named and prefix; you can only specify one.` error  

versions:  
- datasets: 1.1.3   
- python: 3.9.6  
- pyarrow: 2.0.0 

Oh.. I figured it out. According to issue #[42387](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/42387) from pandas, this new version does not accept None for both parameters (which was being done by the repo I'm testing). Dowgrading Pandas==1.0.4 and Python==3.8 worked

Hi, 
I got an `OSError: Cannot find data file. ` when I tried to use load_dataset with tsv files. I have checked the paths, and they are correct.

Hi ! It looks like the error stacktrace doesn't match with your code snippet.

What error do you get when running this ?
```
data_files = {"train": "train.tsv", "test",: "test.tsv"}
datasets = load_dataset("csv", data_files=data_files, delimiter="\t")
```
can you check that both tsv files are in the same folder as the current working directory of your shell ?

Hi @lhoestq, Below is the entire error message after I move both tsv files to the same directory. It's the same with I got before.

Hi !
Can you try running this into a python shell directly ?

```python
import os
from datasets import load_dataset

data_files = {"train": "train.tsv", "test": "test.tsv"}
assert all(os.path.isfile(data_file) for data_file in data_files.values()), "Couln't find files"

datasets = load_dataset("csv", data_files=data_files, delimiter="\t")
print("success !")
```

This way all the code from `run_glue.py` doesn't interfere with our tests :)

Hi @lhoestq, 

Below is what I got from terminal after I copied and run your code. I think the files themselves are good since there is no assertion error.

Hi, could this be a permission error ? I think it fails to close the arrow file that contains the data from your CSVs in the cache.

By default datasets are cached in `~/.cache/huggingface/datasets`, could you check that you have the right permissions ?
You can also try to change the cache directory by passing `cache_dir="path/to/my/cache/dir"` to `load_dataset`.

Thank you!! @lhoestq

For some reason, I don't have the default path for datasets to cache, maybe because I work from a remote system.  The issue solved after I pass the `cache_dir` argument to the function. Thank you very much!!

This is the exact solution I have been finding for the whole afternoon. Thanks a lot!
I tried to do a training on a cluster computing system. The user's home directory is shared between nodes.
It always gets **stuck** at dataset loading...
The reason might be, the node (with GPU) can't read/write data in the default cache folder (in my home directory).
After using an intermediate cache folder, this issue is resolved for me.

#in ML  for uploading dataset in google colab :
#use the following code-

#importing the required packages like
`import pandas as pd `  
`import numpy as np` so on....

`from google.colab import files`
`uploaded = files.upload()`

#choose files by selecting the required file from location then 

`data=pd.read_csv('typeexactfilename.csv')`
`data.head()`

#run it by using shortcut key also (ctrl+enter)

you will get the result and perform accordingly further.
