Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-243:
------------------------------------
My preference would be to add an option to {{HdfsConnectionConfig}} to choose
the client library used -- to be loaded at runtime with dlopen -- since libhdfs
and libhdfs3 are designed to be roughly ABI-compatible. One reason for this is
that binary distributions of Arrow may not know which libraries may be present
on the target system.
This is more work than switching between the libraries at compile time but will
be more flexible.
> Use generic HDFS component instead of libhdfs

> I would like to use for example libhdfs3 from pivotal to read apache parquet
> files. This would be a small change to the hdfs layer of apache arrow to
> support this.
