Unable to load libhdfs when using pyarrow

I'm trying to connect to HDFS through Pyarrow, but it does not work because libhdfs library cannot be loaded.

libhdfs.so is in $HADOOP_HOME/lib/native as well as in $ARROW_LIBHDFS_DIR.

print(os.environ['ARROW_LIBHDFS_DIR'])
fs = hdfs.connect()


bash-3.2$ ls $ARROW_LIBHDFS_DIR
examples        libhadoop.so.1.0.0  libhdfs.a       libnativetask.a
libhadoop.a     libhadooppipes.a    libhdfs.so      libnativetask.so
libhadoop.so        libhadooputils.a    libhdfs.so.0.0.0    libnativetask.so.1.0.0

The error I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This solves my issue:

conda install libhdfs3 pyarrow

in your script.py:

import os
os.environ['ARROW_LIBHDFS_DIR'] = '/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib64/'

where the path is the directory in which libhdfs3 lives - in my case this is where Cloudera hosts the lib
