Motivated by huggingface/transformers#12789 in Transformers, one welcoming change would be replacing assertions with proper exceptions. The only type of assertions we should keep are those used as sanity checks.

Currently, there is a total of 87 files with the assert statements (located under datasets and src/datasets), so when working on this, to manage the PR s

At the moment, from API there are two useful columns about tasks:

However, in tabs (views) there are possible columns tasks:created_at a

What?

Currently, API manually throws its own messages and errors. We should move them to werkzeug exceptions.

Note sure if it could be interesting but:

When registering a table:

addr: 0.0.0.0:8084
tables:
  - name: "example"
    uri: "/data/"
    option:
      format: "parquet"
