I am trying to download `sentiment140` and I have the following error

I installed the last version and ran the following command:

```python
import nlp
sentiment140 = nlp.load_dataset('sentiment140', cache_dir='/content')
```

Comments: When you install `nlp` for the first time on a Colab runtime, it updates the `pyarrow` library that was already on colab. This update shows this message on colab:
```
WARNING: The following packages were previously imported in this runtime:
  [pyarrow]
You must restart the runtime in order to use newly installed versions.
```
You just have to restart the runtime and it should be fine.
If you don't restart, then it breaks like in your message.

Yeah, that worked! Thanks :)
