Jack Fan created ARROW-8588: ------------------------------- 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
