-title: Dataset Loading
-description: Understanding how to load datasets from different sources
-back-to-top-navigation: true
-toc: true
-toc-depth: 5
----
-
-## Overview
-
-Datasets can be loaded in a number of different ways depending on the how it is saved (the extension of the file) and where it is stored.
-
-## Loading Datasets
-
-We use the `datasets` library to load datasets and a mix of `load_dataset` and `load_from_disk` to load them.
-
-You may recognize the similar named configs between `load_dataset` and the `datasets` section of the config file.
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path:
-    name:
-    data_files:
-    split:
-    revision:
-    trust_remote_code:
-```
-
-::: {.callout-tip}
-
-Do not feel overwhelmed by the number of options here. A lot of them are optional. In fact, the most common config to use would be `path` and sometimes `data_files`.
-
-:::
-
-This matches the API of [`datasets.load_dataset`](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/0b5998ac62f08e358f8dcc17ec6e2f2a5e9450b6/src/datasets/load.py#L1838-L1858), so if you're familiar with that, you will feel right at home.
-
-For HuggingFace's guide to load different dataset types, see [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading).
-
-For full details on the config, see [config.qmd](config.qmd).
-
-::: {.callout-note}
-
-You can set multiple datasets in the config file by more than one entry under `datasets`.
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path: /path/to/your/dataset
-  - path: /path/to/your/other/dataset
-```
-
-:::
-
-### Local dataset
-
-#### Files
-
-Usually, to load a JSON file, you would do something like this:
-
-```python
-from datasets import load_dataset
-
-dataset = load_dataset("json", data_files="data.json")
-```
-
-Which translates to the following config:
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path: json
-    data_files: /path/to/your/file.jsonl
-```
-
-However, to make things easier, we have added a few shortcuts for loading local dataset files.
-
-You can just point the `path` to the file or directory along with the `ds_type` to load the dataset. The below example shows for a JSON file:
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path: /path/to/your/file.jsonl
-    ds_type: json
-```
-
-This works for CSV, JSON, Parquet, and Arrow files.
-
-::: {.callout-tip}
-
-If `path` points to a file and `ds_type` is not specified, we will automatically infer the dataset type from the file extension, so you could omit `ds_type` if you'd like.
-
-:::
-
-#### Directory
-
-If you're loading a directory, you can point the `path` to the directory.
-
-Then, you have two options:
-
-##### Loading entire directory
-
-You do not need any additional configs.
-
-We will attempt to load in the following order:
-- datasets saved with `datasets.save_to_disk`
-- loading entire directory of files (such as with parquet/arrow files)
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path: /path/to/your/directory
-```
-
-##### Loading specific files in directory
-
-Provide `data_files` with a list of files to load.
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-    # single file
-  - path: /path/to/your/directory
-    ds_type: csv
-    data_files: file1.csv
-
-    # multiple files
-  - path: /path/to/your/directory
-    ds_type: json
-    data_files:
-      - file1.jsonl
-      - file2.jsonl
-
-    # multiple files for parquet
-  - path: /path/to/your/directory
-    ds_type: parquet
-    data_files:
-      - file1.parquet
-      - file2.parquet
-
-```
-
-### HuggingFace Hub
-
-The method you use to load the dataset depends on how the dataset was created, whether a folder was uploaded directly or a HuggingFace Dataset was pushed.
-
-::: {.callout-note}
-
-If you're using a private dataset, you will need to enable the `hf_use_auth_token` flag in the root-level of the config file.
-
-:::
-
-#### Folder uploaded
-
-This would mean that the dataset is a single file or file(s) uploaded to the Hub.
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path: org/dataset-name
-    data_files:
-      - file1.jsonl
-      - file2.jsonl
-```
-
-#### HuggingFace Dataset
-
-This means that the dataset is created as a HuggingFace Dataset and pushed to the Hub via `datasets.push_to_hub`.
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path: org/dataset-name
-```
-
-::: {.callout-note}
-
-There are some other configs which may be required like `name`, `split`, `revision`, `trust_remote_code`, etc depending on the dataset.
-
-:::
-
-### Remote Filesystems
-
-Via the `storage_options` config under `load_dataset`, you can load datasets from remote filesystems like S3, GCS, Azure, and OCI.
-
-::: {.callout-warning}
-
-This is currently experimental. Please let us know if you run into any issues!
-
-:::
-
-The only difference between the providers is that you need to prepend the path with the respective protocols.
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-    # Single file
-  - path: s3://bucket-name/path/to/your/file.jsonl
-
-    # Directory
-  - path: s3://bucket-name/path/to/your/directory
-```
-
-For directory, we load via `load_from_disk`.
-
-#### S3
-
-Prepend the path with `s3://`.
-
-The credentials are pulled in the following order:
-
-- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` environment variables
-- from the `~/.aws/credentials` file
-- for nodes on EC2, the IAM metadata provider
-
-::: {.callout-note}
-
-We assume you have credentials setup and not using anonymous access. If you want to use anonymous access, let us know! We may have to open a config option for this.
-
-:::

-Other environment variables that can be set can be found in [boto3 docs](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/configuration.html#using-environment-variables)
-
-#### GCS
-
-Prepend the path with `gs://` or `gcs://`.
-
-The credentials are loaded in the following order:
-
-- gcloud credentials
-- for nodes on GCP, the google metadata service
-- anonymous access
-
-#### Azure
-
-##### Gen 1
-
-Prepend the path with `adl://`.
-
-Ensure you have the following environment variables set:
-
-- `AZURE_STORAGE_TENANT_ID`
-- `AZURE_STORAGE_CLIENT_ID`
-- `AZURE_STORAGE_CLIENT_SECRET`
-
-##### Gen 2
-
-Prepend the path with `abfs://` or `az://`.
-
-Ensure you have the following environment variables set:
-
-- `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME`
-- `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY`
-
-Other environment variables that can be set can be found in [adlfs docs](https://github.com/fsspec/adlfs?tab=readme-ov-file#setting-credentials)
-
-#### OCI
-
-Prepend the path with `oci://`.
-
-It would attempt to read in the following order:
-
-- `OCIFS_IAM_TYPE`, `OCIFS_CONFIG_LOCATION`, and `OCIFS_CONFIG_PROFILE` environment variables
-- when on OCI resource, resource principal
-
-Other environment variables:
-
-- `OCI_REGION_METADATA`
-
-Please see the [ocifs docs](https://ocifs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-connected.html#Using-Environment-Variables).
-
-### HTTPS
-
-The path should start with `https://`.
-
-```yaml
-datasets:
-  - path: https://path/to/your/dataset/file.jsonl
-```
-
-This must be publically accessible.
-
-## Next steps
-
-Now that you know how to load datasets, you can learn more on how to load your specific dataset format into your target output format [dataset formats docs](dataset-formats).
