core Module

The main file-system class and functionality.

Provides an pythonic interface to the Azure Data-lake Store, including file-system commands with typical names and options, and a File object which is compatible with the built-in File.

Classes

Open ADL key as a file. Data is only loaded and cached on demand.

AzureDLFileSystem

Access Azure DataLake Store as if it were a file-system
