Issue: Support streaming Beam datasets from HF GCS preprocessed data
State: closed
Author: albertvillanova

This PR implements streaming Apache Beam datasets that are already preprocessed by us and stored in the HF Google Cloud Storage:
- natural_questions
- wiki40b
- wikipedia

This is done by streaming from the prepared Arrow files in HF Google Cloud Storage.

This will fix their corresponding dataset viewers. Related to:

Anarchism calls for the abolition of the state, which it holds to be unnecessary, undesirable, and harmful. As a historically left-wing movement, placed on the farthest left of the political spectrum, it is usually described alongside communalism and libertarian Marxism as the libertarian wing (libertarian socialism) of the socialist movement,...}
