Title: OSError: Cannot find data file when not using the dummy dataset in RAG
Author: josemlopez (NONE)
State: closed
Created: 2020-10-07T14:27:13Z

## Environment info

    transformers version: 3.3.1
    Platform: Linux-4.19
    Python version: 3.7.7
    PyTorch version (GPU?): 1.6.0
    Tensorflow version (GPU?): No
    Using GPU in script?: Yes
    Using distributed or parallel set-up in script?: No

## To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
```
import os
os.environ['HF_DATASETS_CACHE'] = '/workspace/notebooks/POCs/cache'

from transformers import RagTokenizer, RagRetriever, RagTokenForGeneration

tokenizer = RagTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-nq")
retriever = RagRetriever.from_pretrained("facebook/rag-token-nq", index_name="exact", use_dummy_dataset=False) 
```

Plese note that I'm using the whole dataset: **use_dummy_dataset=False**
After around 4 hours (downloading and some other things) this is returned:

```
Downloading and preparing dataset wiki_dpr/psgs_w100.nq.exact (download: Unknown size, generated: Unknown size, post-processed: Unknown size, total: Unknown size) to /workspace/notebooks/POCs/cache/wiki_dpr/psgs_w100.nq.exact/0.0.0/14b973bf2a456087ff69c0fd34526684eed22e48e0dfce4338f9a22b965ce7c2...

Comments:
Same issue here. I will be digging further, but it looks like the [script](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/wiki_dpr/wiki_dpr.py#L132) is attempting to open a file that is not downloaded yet.

```

Thank you.

An update on my end. This seems like a transient issue. Reran the script from scratch overnight with no errors. 

Closing this one. Feel free to re-open if you have other questions about this issue
