> 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. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
