map/filter multiprocessing raises errors and corrupts datasets
It works on my side @timothyjlaurent on google colab.
Did you try to uninstall datasets first, before updating it to master's version ?
After upgrading to the 1.0 started seeing errors in my data loading script after enabling multiprocessing.

```python
    ...
    ner_ds_dict = ner_ds.train_test_split(test_size=test_pct, shuffle=True, seed=seed)
    ner_ds_dict["validation"] = ner_ds_dict["test"]
    rel_ds_dict = rel_ds.train_test_split(test_size=test_pct, shuffle=True, seed=seed)
    rel_ds_dict["validation"] = rel_ds_dict["test"]
    return ner_ds_dict, rel_ds_dict
```

The first train_test_split, `ner_ds`/`ner_ds_dict`, returns a `train` and `test` split that are iterable.
The second, `rel_ds`/`rel_ds_dict` in this case, returns a Dataset dict that has rows but if selected from or sliced into into returns an empty dictionary. eg `rel_ds_dict['train'][0] == {}` and `rel_ds_dict['train'][0:100] == {}`.

Ok I think I know the problem -- the rel_ds was mapped though a mapper with `num_proc=12`. If I remove `num_proc`. The dataset loads.

I also see errors with other map and filter functions when `num_proc` is set.
