HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=1 didn't stop datasets.builder from downloading 
Hi ! Indeed it says "downloading and preparing" but in your case it didn't need to download anything since you used local files (it would have thrown an error otherwise). I think we can improve the logging to make it clearer in this case @lhoestq Thank you for explaining. I am sorry but I was not clear about my intention. I didn't want to kill internet traffic; I wanted to kill all write activity. In other words, you can imagine that my storage has only read access but crashes on write.

When run_clm.py is invoked with the same parameters, the hash in the cache directory "datacache/trainpy.v2/json/default-471372bed4b51b53/0.0.0/..." doesn't change, and my job can load cached data properly. This is great.

Unfortunately, when params change (which happens sometimes), the hash changes and the old cache is invalid. datasets builder would create a new cache directory with the new hash and create JSON builder there, even though every JSON builder is the same. I didn't find a way to avoid such behavior.

This problem can be resolved when using datasets.map() for tokenizing and grouping text. This function allows me to specify output filenames with --cache_file_names, so that the cached files are always valid.

This is the code that I used to freeze cache filenames for tokenization. I wish I could do the same to datasets.load_dataset()
```
        tokenized_datasets = raw_datasets.map(
            tokenize_function,
            batched=True,
            num_proc=data_args.preprocessing_num_workers,
            remove_columns=column_names,
            load_from_cache_file=not data_args.overwrite_cache,
            desc="Running tokenizer on dataset",
            cache_file_names={k: os.path.join(model_args.cache_dir, f'{k}-tokenized') for k in raw_datasets},
        )
``` Hi ! `load_dataset` may re-generate your dataset if some parameters changed indeed. If you want to freeze a dataset loaded with `load_dataset`, I think the best solution is just to save it somewhere on your disk with `.save_to_disk(my_dataset_dir)` and reload it with `load_from_disk(my_dataset_dir)`. This way you will be able to reload the dataset without having to run `load_dataset`
## Describe the bug
According to https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading_datasets.html#loading-a-dataset-builder, setting HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE to 1 should make datasets to "run in full offline mode". It didn't work for me. At the very beginning, datasets still tried to download "custom data configuration" for JSON, despite I have run the program once and cached all data into the same --cache_dir. 

"Downloading" is not an issue when running with local disk, but crashes often with cloud storage because (1) multiply GPU processes try to access the same file, AND (2) FileLocker fails to synchronize all processes, due to storage throttling. 99% of times, when the main process releases FileLocker, the file is not actually ready for access in cloud storage and thus triggers "FileNotFound" errors for all other processes. Well, another way to resolve the problem is to investigate super reliable cloud storage, but that's out of scope here.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```
export HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=1
python run_clm.py --model_name_or_path=models/gpt-j-6B --train_file=trainpy.v2.train.json --validation_file=trainpy.v2.eval.json --cache_dir=datacache/trainpy.v2
```

## Expected results
datasets should stop all "downloading" behavior but reuse the cached JSON configuration. I think the problem here is part of the cache directory path, "default-471372bed4b51b53", is randomly generated, and it could change if some parameters changed. And I didn't find a way to use a fixed path to ensure datasets to reuse cached data every time.

## Actual results
The logging shows datasets are still downloading into "datacache/trainpy.v2/json/default-471372bed4b51b53/0.0.0/c2d554c3377ea79c7664b93dc65d0803b45e3279000f993c7bfd18937fd7f426".
