### Describe the bug

I have been struggling with this for two days, any help would be appreciated. Python 3.10

```
from setfit import SetFitModel
from huggingface_hub import login

access_token_read = "cccxxxccc"

# Authenticate with the Hugging Face Hub
login(token=access_token_read)

# Load the models from the Hugging Face Hub
trainer_relv = SetFitModel.from_pretrained("snowdere/trainer_relevance")
trainer_trust = SetFitModel.from_pretrained("snowdere/trainer_trust")
trainer_sent = SetFitModel.from_pretrained("snowdere/trainer_sent")
trainer_topic = SetFitModel.from_pretrained("snowdere/trainer_topic")

```
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

I have tried all version combinations for Dataset and Pyarrow, the all have the same error since a few days ago. This is accross multiple scripts I have. 

### Expected behavior

Just ron normally. 

### Environment info

3.10

Comments: Please note that the error is raised just at import:
```python
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
```

Therefore it must be caused by some problem with your pyarrow installation. I would recommend you uninstall and install pyarrow again.

I also see that it seems you use conda to install pyarrow. Please note that pyarrow offers 3 different packages in conda-forge: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html#using-conda
```
conda install -c conda-forge pyarrow
```
> While the pyarrow [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/) package is the right choice for most users, both a minimal and maximal variant of the package exist, either of which may be better for your use case. See [Differences between conda-forge packages](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html#python-conda-differences).

Please, make sure you install the right one: I guess it is either `pyarrow` (or `pyarrow-all`).

I have same issue, please downgrade pyarrow==15.0.2, it seem datasets library need to be fix

It is not a problem with the `datasets` library: we support latest version of `pyarrow` and our Continuous Integration tests are using pyarrow 16.1.0 without any problem.

The error reported here is raised when importing pyarrow.parquet:
```
---> 29 import pyarrow.parquet as pq
```

```

This can only be explained if pyarrow was not properly installed. 

If the user just installed `pyarrow-core` from conda-forge, then its parquet subpackage is not installed and cannot be imported. You can check pyarrow docs:
- Differences between conda-forge packages: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html#python-conda-differences
> The `pyarrow-core` package includes the following functionality:

> The `pyarrow` package adds the following:

> Parquet (i.e., `pyarrow.parquet`)

I'm still seeing the same issue on datasets version 2.20.0. I installed pyarrow version 17.0.0 with `pip install`. Downgrading to pyarrow==15.0.2 also did not resolve the issue.

@RenaLu  As of UTC time 07/27/2024 23:20:00, I hit the same issue and reinstalling `pyarrow==15.0.2` resolved the issue for me. You may want to check if your `pyarrow` is successfully downgraded.

I can confirm @albertvillanova's [analysis & suggestion](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/6985#issuecomment-2188022888) - `pip uninstall pyarrow` followed by `pip install pyarrow` solved it for me. 

I suspect this is because pyarrow was initially installed as a pandas extra `pandas[...,parquet,...]`, then pip-upgrading pyarrow resulted in the issue.

@RenaLu did you uninstall pyarrow between changing versions?

After trying all the above combinations and failing, running the following in the notebook fixed the error!!
`!conda install -c conda-forge -y  datasets pyarrow libparquet`
Note : Uninstall any existing dataset and pyarrow installations in the env before executing the above.

If on colab, remember to restart the runtime so the new pyarrow is imported. I also upgraded pip which is recommended in pyarrow's installation instructions.

fixed doing this: !pip install --upgrade datasets

!pip show pyarrow
!pip show datasets
!pip uninstall -y pyarrow
!pip install pyarrow --no-cache-dir
!pip install pyarrow
!pip install transformers
!pip install --upgrade datasets
!pip install datasets
! pip install pyarrow
! pip install pyarrow.parquet
!pip install transformers

# Import necessary libraries
from datasets import load_dataset
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
import pyarrow.lib as lib
import pandas as pd
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, Trainer, TrainingArguments


but now i cant run test, so i remove it, ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyarrow.parquet (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyarrow.parquet will still running but will tell you this

I have the same question right now, python3.12 and transformers4.44.2, I have not fixed it

I did most of the suggestions above and I still got the error, but after restarting my computer the error was fixed

how to fix this, still have this error. 

have we figured out what causes it?
