[Python] Cannot read parquet files from windows shared drive with pyarrow

[Farhad Taebi]

Hi,

I'm trying to read parquet files which are located on a windows network 
drive using|*pyarrow 6.0.0*|.

The drive is mounted on my system so I can access the files under 
*|H:\my\parquet\files|*. The problem is that when I execute

*|pq.read_table("H:\\my\\parquet\\files")|*

the process just hangs forever. Python is not doing anything (no cpu or 
ram is used). I have to kill the python process manually. This doesn't 
happen with files located on my local drive. What am I doing wrong? What 
can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot
