runing dataset.map, it raises TypeError: can't pickle Tokenizer objects
Then I guess you need to give us more informations on your setup (OS, python, GPU, etc) or a Google Colab reproducing the error for us to be able to debug this error.
I load squad dataset. Then want to process data use following function with `Huggingface Transformers LongformerTokenizer`.

```
def convert_to_features(example):
    # Tokenize contexts and questions (as pairs of inputs)
    input_pairs = [example['question'], example['context']]
    encodings = tokenizer.encode_plus(input_pairs, pad_to_max_length=True, max_length=512)
    context_encodings = tokenizer.encode_plus(example['context'])
    

    # Compute start and end tokens for labels using Transformers's fast tokenizers alignement methodes.
    # this will give us the position of answer span in the context text
    start_idx, end_idx = get_correct_alignement(example['context'], example['answers'])
    start_positions_context = context_encodings.char_to_token(start_idx)
    end_positions_context = context_encodings.char_to_token(end_idx-1)

    # here we will compute the start and end position of the answer in the whole example
    # as the example is encoded like this <s> question</s></s> context</s>
    # and we know the postion of the answer in the context
    # we can just find out the index of the sep token and then add that to position + 1 (+1 because there are two sep tokens)
    # this will give us the position of the answer span in whole example 
    sep_idx = encodings['input_ids'].index(tokenizer.sep_token_id)
    start_positions = start_positions_context + sep_idx + 1
    end_positions = end_positions_context + sep_idx + 1

    if end_positions > 512:
      start_positions, end_positions = 0, 0

    encodings.update({'start_positions': start_positions,
                      'end_positions': end_positions,
                      'attention_mask': encodings['attention_mask']})
    return encodings
```

Then I run `dataset.map(convert_to_features)`, it raise
