train_sampling_strategy="group_by_length" has no effect on datasets without __len__ (e.g. IterableDataset): _get_train_sampler returns None early, and examples are consumed in the dataset's own order. This used to raise a ValueError (#15437), but the check was dropped in the sampler unification refactor (#43138), so it now fails silently.

This adds a warning on that path. No behavior change otherwise; a warning rather than restoring the error, since users relying on the current no-op shouldn't break.

Fixes the silent-no-op part of #32326; the feature request itself (buffer-based length grouping for streaming datasets) is out of scope here.
