   > The new API will accept a URL as a path although it currently only has 
first-class support for S3 and HDFS
   
   Small correction: it will accept a URI, but not a URL (although wikipedia 
says that they are often used interchangeably). Meaning: we don't support 
reading from a http(s) URL, in contrast to typical pandas or R functions do for 
single files).
   Also the old interface supports such URIs. 
   
   There is an open issue to also support https/ftp urls: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7594
   
   But @westonpace is correct: although we generally support cloud URIs, we 
only have built-in support for S3 and HDFS. But we accept fsspec-based 
filesystems as well, and so using the `adlfs` package for now is the way to go 
to read data from Azure.
   
   I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13034 for your first 
two bullet points.
