ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apache_beam', when specific languages.

```py
import datasets
wiki = datasets.load_dataset('wikipedia', '20200501.ja', cache_dir='./datasets')
```
then `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apache_beam'` happend.

The error doesn't appear when it's '20200501.en'.
I don't know Apache Beam, but according to #498 it isn't necessary when it's saved to local. is it correct?


Hi !

Apache Beam is a framework used to define data transformation pipelines. These pipeline can then be run in many runtimes: DataFlow, Spark, Flink, etc. There also exist a local runner called the DirectRunner.
Wikipedia is a dataset that requires some parsing, so to allow the processing to be run on this kind of runtime we're using Apache Beam.

At Hugging Face we've already processed certain versions of wikipedia (the `20200501.en` one for example) so that users can directly download the processed version instead of using Apache Beam to process it.
However for the japanese language we haven't processed it so you'll have to run the processing on your side.
So you do need Apache Beam to process `20200501.ja`.

You can install Apache Beam with
```
pip install apache-beam
```

I think we can probably improve the error message to let users know of this subtlety.
What #498 implied is that Apache Beam is not needed when you process a dataset that doesn't use Apache Beam.

Thanks for your reply! 
I understood.

I tried again with installing apache-beam, add ` beam_runner="DirectRunner"` and an anther `mwparserfromhell` is also required so I installed it.
but, it also failed. It exited 1 without error message.

```py
import datasets
# BTW, 20200501.ja doesn't exist at wikipedia, so I specified date argument
wiki = datasets.load_dataset("wikipedia", language="ja", date="20210120", cache_dir="./datasets", beam_runner="DirectRunner")
print(wiki)
```
and its log is below

Hi @miyamonz,

I tried replicating this issue using the same snippet used by you. I am able to download the dataset without any issues, although I stopped it in the middle because the dataset is huge.

Based on a similar issue [here](https://github.com/google-research/fixmatch/issues/23), it could be related to your environment setup, although I am just guessing here. Can you share these details?

thanks for your reply and sorry for my late response.

## environment
my local machine environment info
- Ubuntu on WSL2

`lsb_release -a`
```
No LSB modules are available.

RTX 2070 super
Inside WSL, there is no nvidia-msi command. I don't know why.
But, `torch.cuda.is_available()` is true and when I start something ML training code GPU usage is growing up, so I think it works.

From PowerShell, there is nvidia-smi.exe and result is below.

```

I don't know what should I show in such a case. If it's not enough, please tell me some commands.

---
## what I did
I surveyed more and I found 2 issues.

About the first one, I wrote it as a new issue.
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/2031

The error I mentioned in the previous comment above, which occurred on my local machine, is no longer occurring.

But, it still failed. In the previous comment, I wrote `AssertionError: OutputStream realloc failed.` happen on another machine. It also happens on my local machine.

Here's what I've tried.

the wikipedia.py downloads these xml.bz2 files based on dumpstatus.json
In Japanese Wikipedia dataset that I specified, it will download these 6 files.


`https://dumps.wikimedia.org/jawiki/20210120/dumpstatus.json`
and filtered json based on wikipedia.py is below.
```json
 {
   "jobs": {
     "articlesmultistreamdump": {
       "files": {
         "jawiki-20210120-pages-articles-multistream1.xml-p1p114794.bz2": {

         },
         "jawiki-20210120-pages-articles-multistream2.xml-p114795p390428.bz2": {
           "url": "/jawiki/20210120/jawiki-20210120-pages-articles-multistream2.xml-p114795p390428.bz2"

         },

         }
       }
     }
   }
 }
```

So, I tried running with fewer resources by modifying this line.
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/13a5b7db992ad5cf77895e4c0f76595314390418/datasets/wikipedia/wikipedia.py#L524
I changed it like this. just change filepaths list.
`            | "Initialize" >> beam.Create(filepaths[:1])`

and I added a print line inside for the loop of _extract_content.
like this `if(i % 100000 == 0): print(i)`

first, without modification, it always stops after all _extract_content is done.

- `filepaths[:1]` then it succeeded.
- `filepaths[:2]` then it failed.
I don't try all patterns because each pattern takes a long time.

### my opinion
It seems it's successful when the entire file size is small.
  
so, at least it doesn't file-specific issue.


I don't know it's true but I think when beam_writter writes into a file, it consumes memory depends on its entire file.
but It's correct Apache Beam's behavior? I'm not familiar with this library.


I don't know if this is related, but there is this issue on the wikipedia processing that you reported at #2031 (open PR is at #2037 ) .
Does the fix your proposed at #2037 helps in your case ?

And for information, the DirectRunner of Apache Beam is not optimized for memory intensive tasks, so you must be right when you say that it uses the memory for the entire file.

the #2037 doesn't solve my problem directly, but I found the point!

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/349ac4398a3bcae6356f14c5754483383a60e8a4/datasets/wikipedia/wikipedia.py#L523
this `beam.transforms.Reshuffle()` cause the memory error.

it makes sense if I consider the shuffle means. Beam's reshuffle seems need put all data in memory.
Previously I doubt that this line causes error, but at that time another bug showed in #2037 made error, so I can't found it.

Anyway, I comment out this line, and run load_dataset, then it works!

```python
wiki = datasets.load_dataset(
    "./wikipedia.py",
    cache_dir="./datasets",
    beam_runner="DirectRunner",
    language="ja",
    date="20210120",
)["train"]
```
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6331508/112283369-6a9f3300-8ccb-11eb-82e5-827bf7fddfb9.png)

Dataset has already shuffle function. https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/349ac4398a3bcae6356f14c5754483383a60e8a4/src/datasets/arrow_dataset.py#L2069
So, though I don't know it's difference correctly, but I think Beam's reshuffle isn't be needed. How do you think?

The reshuffle is needed when you use parallelism.
The objective is to redistribute the articles evenly on the workers, since the `_extract_content` step generated many articles per file. By using reshuffle, we can split the processing of the articles of one file into several workers. Without reshuffle, all the articles of one file would be processed on the same worker that read the file, making the whole process take a very long time.

Maybe the reshuffle step can be added only if the runner is not a DirectRunner ?

Hi! Triaging older issues — I think this one can be closed as out-of-scope for the current `datasets` repo.

- This issue is about the script-based `wikipedia` loader requiring `apache_beam` for non-English configs. That loader is no longer hosted in this repo — script-based loaders were migrated out (see [`ADD_NEW_DATASET.md`](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/main/ADD_NEW_DATASET.md)).
- Current Wikipedia data lives as pre-processed Hub Parquet datasets (e.g. [`wikimedia/wikipedia`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikimedia/wikipedia)) covering all languages without any Apache Beam dependency. `grep -ri 'apache_beam' src/datasets/` returns no matches in the current code path either.

Would you mind closing this out? If you encounter a Beam-related issue in current `datasets` code on `main`, happy to dig into a fresh repro.

(Disclosure: I drafted this comment with help from Claude Code while triaging stale issues; the references above were verified manually against the current `main` branch at commit 19302564.)
