Connecting with the cdata.hdfs Module:

The connector's module is used directly to establish a connection with the data source. It does this by using a connection string as its argument. For example:

import cdata.hdfs as mod
conn = mod.connect("Host=sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com;Port=50070;Path=/user/root;")

Once the connection is created, you can use it to execute subsequent SQL queries.
