(and also reorder the hffs args to improve caching)
When using
DataLoader(iterable_dataset, num_workers=...)
the dataset is pickled and passed to the worker. However previously the resulting dataset would be in a process with an empty hffs cache. By keeping the cache attached toIterableDataset
, the cached hffs instances are pickled with the dataset and re-populates the cache in the DataLoader workersthis requires huggingface/huggingface_hub#3443 to work effectively though, otherwise the unpickled hffs cache would start empty
