React setState() is an async operation so it does not deliver the result immediately after it is called in you code. You can access the updated state you if add console.log(this.state.data_source); inside your render() method which is only called when this.setState() completes.

Have a looke a the React docs: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/component-api.html#setstate

setState() does not immediately mutate this.state but creates a pending state transition. Accessing this.state after calling this method can potentially return the existing value. There is no guarantee of synchronous operation of calls to setState and calls may be batched for performance gains.

setState() will always trigger a re-render unless conditional rendering logic is implemented in shouldComponentUpdate().
