AttributeError: module 'pyarrow' has no attribute 'PyExtensionType' during import 
Hi ! I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Can you try restarting your runtime ?

The PyExtensionType is available in pyarrow starting 0.17.1 iirc. If restarting your runtime doesn't fix this, can you try updating pyarrow ?
```
pip install pyarrow --upgrade
``` We should bump up the version test of pyarrow maybe no?

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/src/datasets/__init__.py#L60 Yes indeed.

Also it looks like Pyarrow 3.0.0 got released on pypi 10 hours ago. This might be related to the bug, I'll investigate
EDIT: looks like the 3.0.0 release doesn't have unexpected breaking changes for us, so I don't think the issue comes from that Maybe colab moved to pyarrow 0.16 by default (instead of 0.14 before)? Installing datasets installs pyarrow>=0.17.1 so in theory it doesn't matter which version of pyarrow colab has by default (which is currently pyarrow 0.14.1).

Also now the colab runtime refresh the pyarrow version automatically after the update from pip (previously you needed to restart your runtime).

I guess what happened is that Colab didn't refresh pyarrow for some reason, and the AttributeError was raised *before* the pyarrow version check from `datasets` at https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/src/datasets/__init__.py#L60 Yes colab doesn’t reload preloaded library unless you restart the instance. Maybe we should move the check on top of the init  Yes I'll do that :) I updated the pyarrow version check in #1782 restarting worked for me

yes it worked for me
I'm using Colab. And suddenly this morning, there is this error. Have a look below!
