Issue: Pickling error when loading dataset
State: closed

Hi,

I modified line 136 in the original [run_language_modeling.py](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/language-modeling/run_language_modeling.py) as:

```
# line 136: return LineByLineTextDataset(tokenizer=tokenizer, file_path=file_path, block_size=args.block_size)
dataset = load_dataset("text", data_files=file_path, split="train")
dataset = dataset.map(lambda ex: tokenizer(ex["text"], add_special_tokens=True,
                                        truncation=True, max_length=args.block_size), batched=True)
dataset.set_format(type='torch', columns=['input_ids'])
return dataset
```

When I run this with transformers (3.1.0) and nlp (0.4.0), I get the following error:

```

_pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle typing.Union[str, NoneType]: it's not the same object as typing.Union
```

When I change from python3.6 to python3.8, it works! 

Does it work when you install `nlp` from source on python 3.6?

No, still the pickling error.

I wasn't able to reproduce on google colab (python 3.6.9 as well) with 

pickle==4.0
dill=0.3.2
transformers==3.1.0
datasets=1.0.1 (also tried nlp 0.4.0)

If I try

```python
from datasets import load_dataset  # or from nlp
from transformers import BertTokenizer

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
dataset = load_dataset("text", data_files=file_path, split="train")
dataset = dataset.map(lambda ex: tokenizer(ex["text"], add_special_tokens=True,
                                        truncation=True, max_length=512), batched=True)
dataset.set_format(type='torch', columns=['input_ids'])
```
It runs without error

Closing since it looks like it's working on >= 3.6.9
Feel free to re-open if you have other questions :)
