lhoestq · x · 2026-09-07
Quentin Lhoest, author of Hugging Face's datasets library, credits a Google Cloud Storage team contribution for a big speedup when streaming datasets with approximate shuffling. Arrow batches are now buffered, concatenated, and row-shuffled entirely using optimized Arrow C++ operations. He also thanks contributors Li Yonghui, yuxin00j, and Zhixiang Li.
