Title: [Question] How to load wikipedia ? Beam runner ?
Author: richarddwang (CONTRIBUTOR)
State: closed
Created: 2020-05-23T10:18:52Z

When `nlp.load_dataset('wikipedia')`, I got
* `WARNING:nlp.builder:Trying to generate a dataset using Apache Beam, yet no Beam Runner or PipelineOptions() has been provided. Please pass a nlp.DownloadConfig(beam_runner=...) object to the builder.download_and_prepare(download_config=...) method. Default values will be used.`
* `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'size'`

Could somebody tell me what should I do ?

Comments:
I have seen that somebody is hard working on easierly loadable wikipedia. #129 
Maybe I should wait a few days for that version ?

Yes we (well @lhoestq) are very actively working on this.
