|Build Status|

This project is not undergoing development


Pyarrow's JNI `hdfs interface`_ is mature and stable. It also has fewer problems
with configuration and various security settings, and does not require the complex
build process of libhdfs3. Therefore, all users who have trouble with hdfs3 are
recommended to try pyarrow.
