I notice three types of discontinuities "removable", "jump", "infinite" defined here Classification of Discontinuities involve limit. Then I am puzzled that what is the type of discontinuities in the Dirichlet function, in which all rational numbers are mapped to 1 and irrational numbers are mapped to 0? They seem not to fall in any of these three categories? Thank you.

The classification you link to defines an "infinite discontinuity" to mean the case where "one or both of the limits $L^{-}$ and $L^{+}$ does not exist or is infinite".

That's precisely what happens with the Dirichlet function everywhere.
