load_dataset with 'csv' is not working. while the same file is loading with 'text' mode or with pandas
Which version of pyarrow do you have ? Could you try to update pyarrow and try again ? Thanks for the fast response. I have the latest version '2.0.0' (I tried to update)
I am working with Python 3.8.5 I think that the issue is similar to this one:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9612
The problem is in arrow when the column data contains long strings.
Any ideas on how to bypass this? We should expose the [`block_size` argument](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.csv.ReadOptions.html#pyarrow.csv.ReadOptions) of Apache Arrow csv `ReadOptions` in the [script](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/csv/csv.py).


In the meantime you can specify yourself the `ReadOptions` config like this:
```python
import pyarrow.csv as pac   # PyArrow is installed with `datasets`

read_options = pac.ReadOptions(block_size=1e9)  # try to find the right value for your use-case
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files=files, read_options=read_options)
```
 This did help to load the data. But the problem now is that I get:
ArrowInvalid: CSV parse error: Expected 5 columns, got 187

It seems that this change the parsing so I changed the table to tab-separated and tried to load it directly from pyarrow
But I got a similar error, again it loaded fine in pandas so I am not sure what to do.



 Got almost the same error loading a ~5GB TSV file, first got the same error as OP, then tried giving it my own ReadOptions and also got the same CSV parse error. > We should expose the [`block_size` argument](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.csv.ReadOptions.html#pyarrow.csv.ReadOptions) of Apache Arrow csv `ReadOptions` in the [script](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/csv/csv.py).

This did not work for me, I got
`TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'read_options'` Hi ! Yes because of issues with PyArrow's CSV reader we switched to using the Pandas CSV reader. In particular the `read_options` argument is not supported anymore, but you can pass any parameter of Pandas' `read_csv` function (see the list here in [Pandas documentation](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.read_csv.html))
Hi All
I am trying to load a custom dataset  and I am trying to load a single file to make sure the file is loading correctly:
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files=files)
When I run it I get:

Downloading and preparing dataset csv/default-35575a1051604c88 (download: Unknown size, generated: Unknown size, post-processed: Unknown size, total: Unknown size) tocache/huggingface/datasets/csv/default-35575a1051604c88/0.0.0/49187751790fa4d820300fd4d0707896e5b941f1a9c644652645b866716a4ac4...

I am getting this error:

**ArrowInvalid: straddling object straddles two block boundaries (try to increase block size?)**



The size of the file is 3.5 GB. When I try smaller files I do not have an issue. When I load it with 'text' parser I can see all data but it is not what I need.
There is no issue reading the file with pandas. any idea what could be the issue?
When I am running a different CSV I do not get  this line:
 (download: Unknown size, generated: Unknown size, post-processed: Unknown size, total: Unknown size)

Any ideas?
