### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. Pyarrow looses the driver information while serialization. This can lead to erratic behaviour which includes the inability to set the hadoop classpath correctly among a plethora of unexpected information ` java.io.IOException: com.google.protobuf.ServiceException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.hadoop.util.VersionInfo at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.ProtobufHelper.getRemoteException(ProtobufHelper.java:47) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocolPB.ClientNamenodeProtocolTranslatorPB.getFileInfo(ClientNamenodeProtocolTranslatorPB.java:841) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:566) at org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryInvocationHandler.invokeMethod(RetryInvocationHandler.java:411) at org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryInvocationHandler$Call.invokeMethod(RetryInvocationHandler.java:165) at org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryInvocationHandler$Call.invoke(RetryInvocationHandler.java:157) at org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryInvocationHandler$Call.invokeOnce(RetryInvocationHandler.java:95) at org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryInvocationHandler.invoke(RetryInvocationHandler.java:348) at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy14.getFileInfo(Unknown Source) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient.getFileInfo(DFSClient.java:1749) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem$27.doCall(DistributedFileSystem.java:1479) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem$27.doCall(DistributedFileSystem.java:1476) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystemLinkResolver.resolve(FileSystemLinkResolver.java:81) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.getFileStatus(DistributedFileSystem.java:1476) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.exists(FileSystem.java:1466) Caused by: com.google.protobuf.ServiceException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.hadoop.util.VersionInfo at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.ProtobufRpcEngine$Invoker.invoke(ProtobufRpcEngine.java:241) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.ProtobufRpcEngine$Invoker.invoke(ProtobufRpcEngine.java:116) at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy13.getFileInfo(Unknown Source) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocolPB.ClientNamenodeProtocolTranslatorPB.getFileInfo(ClientNamenodeProtocolTranslatorPB.java:838) ... 16 more Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.hadoop.util.VersionInfo at org.apache.hadoop.util.ProtoUtil.makeRpcRequestHeader(ProtoUtil.java:186) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.<init>(Client.java:480) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.getConnection(Client.java:1560) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.call(Client.java:1403) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.call(Client.java:1367) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.ProtobufRpcEngine$Invoker.invoke(ProtobufRpcEngine.java:227) ... 19 more ` ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
