Loading 'wikitext' dataset fails
Hi, make sure you have a recent version of pyarrow.

Are you using it in Google Colab? In this case, this error is probably the same as #128
Loading the 'wikitext' dataset fails with Attribute error:

Code to reproduce (From example notebook):

import nlp
wikitext_dataset = nlp.load_dataset('wikitext')


Error:

 Hi, make sure you have a recent version of pyarrow.

Are you using it in Google Colab? In this case, this error is probably the same as #128
