can't pickle SwigPyObject objects when calling dataset.get_nearest_examples from FAISS index
Hi ! Indeed we used to require mapping functions to be picklable with `pickle` or `dill` in order to cache the resulting datasets. And FAISS indexes are not picklable unfortunately.

But since #1703 this is no longer required (the caching will simply be disabled). This change will be available in the next release of `datasets`, or you can also install `datasets` from source.
So, I have the following instances in my dataset

```
{'question': 'An astronomer observes that a planet rotates faster after a meteorite impact. Which is the most likely effect of 
this increase in rotation?', 
'answer': 'C', 
'example_id': 'ARCCH_Mercury_7175875', 
'options':[{'option_context': 'One effect of increased amperage in the planetary world (..)', 'option_id': 'A', 'option_text': 'Planetary density will decrease.'},
 (...)]}
```

The `options` value is always an list with 4 options, each one is a dict with `option_context`; `option_id` and `option_text`.

I would like to overwrite the `option_context` of each instance of my dataset for a dpr result that I am developing. Then, I trained a model already and save it in a FAISS index
```
dpr_dataset = load_dataset(
            "text",
            data_files=ARC_CORPUS_TEXT,
            cache_dir=CACHE_DIR,
            split="train[:100%]",
        )
dpr_dataset.load_faiss_index("embeddings", f"{ARC_CORPUS_FAISS}")
torch.set_grad_enabled(False)
```

Then, as a processor of my dataset, I created a map function that calls the `dpr_dataset` for each _option_

```
def generate_context(example):
    question_text = example['question']
    for option in example['options']:
        question_with_option = question_text + " " + option['option_text']
        tokenize_text =  question_tokenizer(question_with_option, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
        question_embed = (
            question_encoder(**tokenize_text)
        )[0][0].cpu().numpy()
        _, retrieved_examples = dpr_dataset.get_nearest_examples(
            "embeddings", question_embed, k=10
        )
    #    option["option_context"] = retrieved_examples["text"]
    #    option["option_context"] = " ".join(option["option_context"]).strip()
    #result_dict = {
    #    'example_id': example['example_id'],
    #    'answer': example['answer'],
    #    'question': question_text,
        #options': example['options']
    # }
    return example
```

I intentionally commented on this portion of the code.

But when I call the `map` method, `ds_with_context = dataset.map(generate_context,load_from_cache_file=False)`

It calls the following error:

```

 So, I have the following instances in my dataset

```
{'question': 'An astronomer observes that a planet rotates faster after a meteorite impact. Which is the most likely effect of 
this increase in rotation?', 
'answer': 'C', 
'example_id': 'ARCCH_Mercury_7175875', 
'options':[{'option_context': 'One effect of increased amperage in the planetary world (..)', 'option_id': 'A', 'option_text': 'Planetary density will decrease.'},
 (...)]}
```

The `options` value is always an list with 4 options, each one is a dict with `option_context`; `option_id` and `option_text`.

I would like to overwrite the `option_context` of each instance of my dataset for a dpr result that I am developing. Then, I trained a model already and save it in a FAISS index
```
dpr_dataset = load_dataset(
            "text",
            data_files=ARC_CORPUS_TEXT,
            cache_dir=CACHE_DIR,
            split="train[:100%]",
        )
dpr_dataset.load_faiss_index("embeddings", f"{ARC_CORPUS_FAISS}")
torch.set_grad_enabled(False)
```

Then, as a processor of my dataset, I created a map function that calls the `dpr_dataset` for each _option_

```
def generate_context(example):
    question_text = example['question']
    for option in example['options']:
        question_with_option = question_text + " " + option['option_text']
        tokenize_text =  question_tokenizer(question_with_option, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
        question_embed = (
            question_encoder(**tokenize_text)
        )[0][0].cpu().numpy()
        _, retrieved_examples = dpr_dataset.get_nearest_examples(
            "embeddings", question_embed, k=10
        )
    #    option["option_context"] = retrieved_examples["text"]
    #    option["option_context"] = " ".join(option["option_context"]).strip()
    #result_dict = {
    #    'example_id': example['example_id'],
    #    'answer': example['answer'],
    #    'question': question_text,
        #options': example['options']
    # }
    return example
```

I intentionally commented on this portion of the code.

But when I call the `map` method, `ds_with_context = dataset.map(generate_context,load_from_cache_file=False)`

It calls the following error:

```

Which I have no idea how to solve/deal with it

 
 Hi ! Indeed we used to require mapping functions to be picklable with `pickle` or `dill` in order to cache the resulting datasets. And FAISS indexes are not picklable unfortunately.

But since #1703 this is no longer required (the caching will simply be disabled). This change will be available in the next release of `datasets`, or you can also install `datasets` from source.
