added netloc support for hdfs URIs
removed the special handling of HDFS URIs which was against the URI specification
fixes #162
@vvaten Thank you for your pull request. It looks good to me.
@menshikh-iv Might be a good idea to merge this after our HDFS integration tests are up. What do you think?
@mpenkov I agree. @vvaten thanks for PR! Sorry for waiting, but first we need to finish https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/smart_open/issues/151.
Hello is there any way this can be merged ? As part of my work I was trying to read and write to hdfs and traced the bug to this Hdfs commands require a fully qualified uri such as ‘’hdfs dfs ls hdfs://path’’
