I feel 0.5 on this PR in general, the functionality it adds is initially for testing and it introduces debt. I'm not keen on the change on FileSystemFactory since this class is used for 3 purposes, and only one of them is used by Native handles: - [x] Unify schema - [ ] Crawl a file systems to explore (requires a filesystem instance) - [ ] Discover partition information (requires a path) This patch retrofits FileSystemFactory for no other purpose than making buffer sources accessible in python while ignoring the actual discovery. In reality, this class deals heavily and almost exclusively with paths. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
