Datasets Features

Parallel implementation of to_tf_dataset() by @Rocketknight1 in #5377
- Pass num_workers= to .to_tf_dataset() to make your dataset faster with multiprocessing

Split your dataset for each node for distributed training
It supports both Dataset and IterableDataset (e.g. in streaming mode)
See the documentation for more details

import os
from datasets.distributed import split_dataset_by_node

rank = int(os.environ["RANK"])
