**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** <!-- A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] (This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for this feature, in addition to the *what*) --> Young developer here. As part of a larger project I am currently working on I need to access hdfs using your object_store interface. I am currently looking to a couple of repositories that tried adding support for HDFS, either having a wrapper around libhdfs or native support. **Describe the solution you'd like** <!-- A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. --> I would like to make these solutions general enough so that they can be added to this repository as part of the object_store crate. **Describe alternatives you've considered** <!-- A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. --> The choice that needs to be taken is between using https://github.com/datafusion-contrib/datafusion-objectstore-hdfs/tree/master which is a wrapper around libhdfs. Or try to generalise the solution of https://github.com/Kimahriman/hdfs-native . **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> As I am a young developer, I have a limited idea of which best practices and design choices are better suited for this task and I could use some help. Furthermore I could benefit from the feedback of someone that has contributed directly to the object_store crate. Here's a list of question that might help me get started, feel free to add any comment or recommendation: * When contributing to such a large change (more than 70 lines change) you still recommend a single PR? How should I prepare the work for the contribution? * HDFS, being a file system operates more similarly to your Local File system implementation than S3, GCP or Azure. Do you prefer then that I create a single hdfs.rs file as local.rs, or you still would opt for a folder? * Is there something in particular I should keep in mind when implementing for hdfs or contributing to this repo?
