Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
The Wikipedia dataset can be really big. This is a problem if you want to use it locally in a laptop with the Apache Beam `DirectRunner`. Even if your laptop have a considerable amount of memory (e.g. 32gb).
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to use the `data_files` argument in the `load_dataset` function to define which file in the wikipedia dataset I would like to download. Thus, I can work with the dataset in a smaller machine using the Apache Beam `DirectRunner`.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I've tried to use the `simple` Wikipedia dataset. But it's in English and I would like to use Portuguese texts in my model.
