Description
I have a dataset of sequences, where each example in the sequence is a separate row in the dataset (similar to LeRobotDataset). When running `Dataset.save_to_disk` how can I provide indices where it's possible to shard the dataset such that no episode spans more than 1 shard. Consequently, when I run `Dataset.load_from_disk`, how can I load just a subset of the shards to save memory and time on different ranks?
I guess an alternative to this would be, given a loaded `Dataset`, how can I run `Dataset.shard` such that sharding doesn't split any episode across shards?
