Get an error "OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long" when loading a large dataset

### Describe the bug

When load a large dataset with the following code

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("liwu/MNBVC", 'news_peoples_daily', split='train')
```

We encountered the error: "OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long"
The error look something like:

```
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

However, that dataset can be loaded in a streaming manner:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("liwu/MNBVC", 'news_peoples_daily', split='train', streaming=True)

for i in dataset:
    pass  # it work well
```

Another issue is reported in our dataset hub:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/liwu/MNBVC/discussions/2


### Steps to reproduce the bug

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("liwu/MNBVC", 'news_peoples_daily', split='train')

### Expected behavior

the dataset can be safely loaded

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.4.0
- Platform: Linux-3.10.0-1160.an7.x86_64-x86_64-with-centos-7.9
- Python version: 3.6.8
- PyArrow version: 6.0.1
- Pandas version: 1.1.5

This error means that one of the int32 (`Value("int32")`) columns in the dataset has a value that is out of the valid (int32) range.

I'll open a PR to print the name of a problematic column to make debugging such errors easier.

I am afraid int32 is not the reason for this error.

I have submitted a commit to use int64 for all ints in the dataset:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/liwu/MNBVC/commit/857ac00d9eab96a6708ad6a82bd9001686042a9e

and I have updated my env to the latest datasets release:
Copy-and-paste the text below in your GitHub issue.

- `datasets` version: 2.13.1
- Platform: macOS-13.2.1-arm64-arm-64bit
- Python version: 3.11.2
- Huggingface_hub version: 0.13.4
- PyArrow version: 11.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.5.3

But the error still exist

Besides, it works fine when I am using streamed dataset.

`simhash` is the problematic column - it has values such as `18329103420363166823` that are out of the int64 range. You can fix this by setting the feature type to `Value("string")` (it's advised to use this type for hash values in general)

> Besides, it works fine when I am using streamed dataset.

Streaming yields Python dictionaries from the script without converting them to the Arrow representation, as this conversion step is not that cheap performance-wise.

i am using uint64 for simhash

uint64 ranges up to about 3.69E19.

18329103420363166823 is less than this value.

moreover, our simhash algorithm use 64 bits. it should fit in uint64.





You are right. I overlooked the feature type.

This is a reproducer:
```python
import pyarrow as pa
from datasets.arrow_writer import TypedSequence

pa.array(TypedSequence([18329103420363166823], type=Value("uint64")))
```

`pa.array([18329103420363166823])` also fails with the same error, so it seems PyArrow does not always infer the correct type as NumPy does (`uint64` in this case).

I'll report this issue in the Arrow repo.

`pa.array([18329103420363166823], pa.uint64)` works, so maybe we can implement a temporary fix (supporting complex input such as `[{"image": pil_image, "num": uint64_value}]` would be hard though).

In the meantime, you should be able to bypass this error by returning the `simhash` values as NumPy scalars in the script:
```python
def _generate_examples(self, ...):
    ...
    yield {...,  "simhash": np.uint64(simhash), ...}
```

Thank you for checking this issue in detail.

However, it seems that using `np.uint64(simhash)` does not work. The same issue still exists.

https://huggingface.co/datasets/liwu/MNBVC/commit/1e44f1e400b7e61052647d44c99cdae3bae9c830

Anyway, we decide to use string type for these simhash values. Hope pyarrow can fix their bug soon.
