   Thank you for the questions — and apologies for the confusion. I'm fairly 
new to open-source contribution, and I leaned on an AI assistant to write this 
up, which made it read like a PR when I'd only meant to report the problem. Let 
me clarify honestly:
   
   (1) The change is real — I did apply it locally and the driver's test suite 
passed, and it fixed a live Looker→Dremio connection for me. If I understood 
you correctly, I'd rather let CI verify it properly than have you take my word 
for it.
   
   (2) Totally fair point. I actually opened a feature request on Looker's 
portal over two months ago, but it's still sitting in "Awaiting Review," so a 
fix from their side doesn't look imminent. In principle, the malformed URL is 
arguably a Looker (or Dremio-integration) concern rather than something the 
standard Arrow driver should absorb — I genuinely don't know where it best 
belongs, and that's your call.
   That said, I'd like to make the case for accepting a driver-side workaround: 
since the upstream fix is blocked and this is likely to trip up anyone 
connecting from Looker (or similar systems that don't emit the standard :// 
form). And also tolerating the :direct= format lowers the barrier for more 
people to adopt the driver. But I'll defer to your judgment on the trade-off.
