Issue: Segmentation fault when loading local JSON dataset as of #372

The last issue was closed (#369) once the #372 update was merged. However, I'm still not able to load a SQuAD formatted JSON file. Instead of the previously recorded pyarrow error, I now get a segmentation fault. 

```
dataset = nlp.load_dataset('json', data_files={nlp.Split.TRAIN: ["./datasets/train-v2.0.json"]}, field='data')
```
causes
```
Using custom data configuration default
Downloading and preparing dataset json/default (download: Unknown size, generated: Unknown size, total: Unknown size) to /home/XXX/.cache/huggingface/datasets/json/default/0.0.0...
0 tables [00:00, ? tables/s]Segmentation fault (core dumped)
```
where `./datasets/train-v2.0.json` is downloaded directly from https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/.
This is consistent with other SQuAD-formatted JSON files.

When attempting to load the dataset again, I get the following:
```

```

(Not sure if you wanted this in the previous issue #369 or not as it was closed.)

Comments:
I've seen this sort of thing before -- it might help to delete the directory -- I've also noticed that there is an error with the json Dataloader for any data I've tried to load. I've replaced it with this, which skips over the data feature population step:


```python
import os

import pyarrow.json as paj

import nlp as hf_nlp

from nlp import DatasetInfo, BuilderConfig, SplitGenerator, Split, utils
from nlp.arrow_writer import ArrowWriter


class JSONDatasetBuilder(hf_nlp.ArrowBasedBuilder):
    BUILDER_CONFIG_CLASS = BuilderConfig

    def _info(self):
        return DatasetInfo()

    def _split_generators(self, dl_manager):
        """ We handle string, list and dicts in datafiles
        """
        if isinstance(self.config.data_files, (str, list, tuple)):
            files = self.config.data_files
            if isinstance(files, str):
                files = [files]
            return [SplitGenerator(name=Split.TRAIN, gen_kwargs={"files": files})]
        splits = []
        for split_name in [Split.TRAIN, Split.VALIDATION, Split.TEST]:
            if split_name in self.config.data_files:
                files = self.config.data_files[split_name]
                if isinstance(files, str):
                    files = [files]
                splits.append(SplitGenerator(name=split_name, gen_kwargs={"files": files}))
        return splits

    def _prepare_split(self, split_generator):
        fname = "{}-{}.arrow".format(self.name, split_generator.name)
        fpath = os.path.join(self._cache_dir, fname)

        writer = ArrowWriter(path=fpath)

        generator = self._generate_tables(**split_generator.gen_kwargs)
        for key, table in utils.tqdm(generator, unit=" tables", leave=False):
            writer.write_table(table)
        num_examples, num_bytes = writer.finalize()

        split_generator.split_info.num_examples = num_examples
        split_generator.split_info.num_bytes = num_bytes

    def _generate_tables(self, files):
        for i, file in enumerate(files):
            pa_table = paj.read_json(
                file
            )
            yield i, pa_table

```

Yes, deleting the directory solves the error whenever I try to rerun.

By replacing the json-loader, you mean the cached file in my `site-packages` directory? e.g. `/home/XXX/.cache/lib/python3.7/site-packages/nlp/datasets/json/(...)/json.py` 

When I was testing this out before the #372 PR was merged I had issues installing it properly locally. Since the `json.py` script was downloaded instead of actually using the one provided in the local install. Manually updating that file seemed to solve it, but it didn't seem like a proper solution. Especially when having to run this on a remote compute cluster with no access to that directory.

I see, diving in the JSON file for SQuAD it's a pretty complex structure.

The best solution for you, if you have a dataset really similar to SQuAD would be to copy and modify the SQuAD data processing script. We will probably add soon an option to be able to specify file path to use instead of the automatic URL encoded in the script but in the meantime you can:
- copy the [squad script](https://github.com/huggingface/nlp/blob/master/datasets/squad/squad.py)  in a new script for your dataset
- in the new script replace [these `urls_to_download `](https://github.com/huggingface/nlp/blob/master/datasets/squad/squad.py#L99-L102) by `urls_to_download=self.config.data_files`
- load the dataset with `dataset = load_dataset('path/to/your/new/script', data_files={nlp.Split.TRAIN: "./datasets/train-v2.0.json"})`

This way you can reuse all the processing logic of the SQuAD loading script.

This seems like a more sensible solution! Thanks, @thomwolf. It's been a little daunting to understand what these scripts actually do, due to the level of abstraction and central documentation.

Am I correct in assuming that the `_generate_examples()` function is the actual procedure for how the data is loaded from file? Meaning that essentially with a file containing another format, that is the only function that requires re-implementation? I'm working with a lot of datasets that, due to licensing and privacy, cannot be published. As this library is so neatly integrated with the transformers library and gives easy access to public sets such as SQUAD and increased performance, it is very neat to be able to load my private sets as well. As of now, I have just been working on scripts for translating all my data into the SQUAD-format before using the json script, but I see that it might not be necessary after all. 

Yes `_generate_examples()` is the main entry point. If you change the shape of the returned dictionary you also need to update the `features` in the `_info`.

I'm currently writing the doc so it should be easier soon to use the library and know how to add your datasets.


Could you try to update pyarrow to >=0.17.0 @vegarab ?
I don't have any segmentation fault with my version of pyarrow (0.17.1)

I tested with
```python
import nlp
s = nlp.load_dataset("json", data_files="train-v2.0.json", field="data", split="train")
s[0]
# {'title': 'Normans', 'paragraphs': [{'qas': [{'question': 'In what country is Normandy located?', 'id':...
```

Also if you want to have your own dataset script, we now have a new documentation !
See here:
https://huggingface.co/nlp/add_dataset.html

@lhoestq 
For some reason, I am not able to reproduce the segmentation fault, on pyarrow==0.16.0. Using the exact same environment and file.

Anyhow, I discovered that pyarrow>=0.17.0 is required to read in a JSON file where the pandas structs contain lists. Otherwise, pyarrow complains when attempting to cast the struct:
```py
import nlp
>>> s = nlp.load_dataset("json", data_files="datasets/train-v2.0.json", field="data", split="train")
Using custom data configuration default
>>> s[0]

```

Upgrading to >=0.17.0 provides the same dataset structure, but accessing the records is possible without the same exception. 



Very happy to see some extended documentation! 

#376 seems to be reporting the same issue as mentioned above. 

This issue helped me a lot, thanks.
Hope this issue will be fixed soon.
