Possible caching bug
Thanks for reporting. That's a bug indeed.
Apparently only the `data_files` parameter is taken into account right now in `DatasetBuilder._create_builder_config` but it should also be the case for `config_kwargs` (or at least the instantiated `builder_config`) Hi, does this bug be fixed? when I load JSON files, I get the same errors by the command 
`!python3 run.py --do_train --task qa --dataset squad-retrain-data/train-v2.0.json --output_dir ./re_trained_model/`

change the dateset to load json by refering to https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading.html
`dataset = datasets.load_dataset('json', data_files=args.dataset)`

Errors:
`Downloading and preparing dataset json/default (download: Unknown size, generated: Unknown size, post-processed: Unknown size, total: Unknown size) to /root/.cache/huggingface/datasets/json/default-c1e124ad488911b8/0.0.0/45636811569ec4a6630521c18235dfbbab83b7ab572e3393c5ba68ccabe98264...

Gives the output

and the code hangs there. > `ds = load_dataset("csv", data_files={'train': 'train.csv', 'test': 'test.csv'})`

Have you solved it? I met this problem too! Can you Ctrl+C to kill the process and share the stacktrace here ? It should show at which location in the code it was hanging I had the same issue and solved it by downgrading the datasets version from 2.7.0 -> 2.6.1
pip install -q datasets==2.6.1 > I had the same issue and solved it by downgrading the datasets version from 2.7.0 -> 2.6.1 pip install -q datasets==2.6.1

Thanks, it works for me
The following code with `test1.txt` containing just "🤗🤗🤗":
```
dataset = datasets.load_dataset('text', data_files=['test1.txt'], split="train", encoding="latin_1")
print(dataset[0])
dataset = datasets.load_dataset('text', data_files=['test1.txt'], split="train", encoding="utf-8")
print(dataset[0])
``` 
produces this output:

Just changing the order (and deleting the temp files):
```
dataset = datasets.load_dataset('text', data_files=['test1.txt'], split="train", encoding="utf-8")
print(dataset[0])
dataset = datasets.load_dataset('text', data_files=['test1.txt'], split="train", encoding="latin_1")
print(dataset[0])
```

Is it intended that the cache path does not depend on the config entries?

tested with datasets==1.1.2 and python==3.8.5
