The dataset generation failed because of a cast error
Error code:   DatasetGenerationCastError
Exception:    DatasetGenerationCastError
Message:      An error occurred while generating the dataset

All the data files must have the same columns, but at some point there are 3 new columns ({'editions', 'key', 'cite_type'}) and 4 missing columns ({'level', 'court_id', 'jurisdiction', 'location'}).

This happened while the json dataset builder was generating data using
