Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-3957:
-------------------------------------
I did this in https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/3209
The error message now looks like
{code}
ArrowIOError: HDFS list directory of / failed, errno: 255 (Unknown error 255)
Please check that you are connecting to the correct HDFS RPC port
{code}
> [Python] pyarrow.hdfs.connect fails silently
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-3957
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3957
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 0.11.1
> Environment: centos 7
> Reporter: Jim Fulton
> Assignee: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
> Labels: hdfs
> Fix For: 0.12.0
>
>
> I'm trying to connect to HDFS using libhdfs and Kerberos.
> I have JAVA_HOME and HADOOP_HOME set and {{pyarrow.hdfs.connect}} sets
> CLASSPATH correctly.
> My connect call looks like:
> {{import pyarrow.hdfs}}
> {{c = pyarrow.hdfs.connect(host='MYHOST', port=42424,}}
> {{ user='ME', kerb_ticket="/tmp/krb5cc_498970")}}
> This doesn't error but the resulting connection can't do anything. They
> either error like this:
> {{ArrowIOError: HDFS list directory failed, errno: 255 (Unknown error 255) }}
> Or swallow errors (e.g. {{exists}} returning {{False}}).
> Note that {{connect}} errors if the host is wrong but doesn't error if the
> port, user, or kerb_ticket are wrong. I have no idea how to debug this,
> because no useful errors.
> Note that I _can_ connect using the hdfs Python package. (Of course, that
> doesn't provide the API I need to read Parquet files.).
> Any help would be appreciated greatly.
