i run following code to download c4 English corpus.

```
dataset = nlp.load_dataset('c4', 'en', beam_runner='DirectRunner'
, data_dir='/mypath')
```

and i met failure as follows

```

```
can i get any advice?

Comments:
Hello ! Thanks for noticing this bug, let me fix that.

Also for information, as specified in the changelog of the latest release, C4 currently needs to have a runtime for apache beam to work on. Apache beam is used to process this very big dataset and it can work on dataflow, spark, flink, apex, etc. You can find more info on beam datasets [here](https://github.com/huggingface/nlp/blob/master/docs/beam_dataset.md).

Our goal in the future is to make available an already-processed version of C4 (as we do for wikipedia for example) so that users without apache beam runtimes can load it.

@lhoestq I am facing `IsADirectoryError` while downloading with this command.
Can you pls look into it & help me.
I'm using version 0.4.0 of `nlp`.

```
dataset = load_dataset("c4", 'en', data_dir='.', beam_runner='DirectRunner')
```

Here's the complete stack trace.

Can anyone please try to see what I am doing wrong or is this a bug?

I have the same problem as @prashant-kikani

Looks like a bug in the dataset script, can you open an issue ?

I see the same issue as @prashant-kikani. I'm using `datasets` version 1.2.0 to download C4.
