-------------------------------
Summary: `driver` param removed from `hdfs.connect()`
Key: ARROW-8588
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8588
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.17.0
Reporter: Jack Fan
Hi,
It appears in ARROW-7863 the `driver` param was removed from `hdfs.connect()`
function. However, if I understand it correctly, ARROW-7863 should only remove
`libhdfs3` related tests, not disabling it entirely.
If I instantiate `pyarrow.HadoopFileSystem` class directly, it is still able to
take in the `driver` param.
Can the arrow project check whether this change in API is intended?
Also, even if it is intended, this is a breaking change and deserves some
documentation around it.
