title: How to read a csv file using pyarrow in python
body: <p>I have made a connection to my HDFS using the following command</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pyarrow as pa
  import pyarrow.parquet as pq
  
  fs = pa.hdfs.connect(self.namenode, self.port, user=self.username, kerb_ticket = self.cert)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using the following command to read a parquet file</p>
  
  <pre><code>fs.read_parquet()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but there is not read method for regular text files (e.g. a csv file). How can I read a csv file using pyarrow.</p>
